There are so many sides to Franny.  Depending on the circumstances, she can be incredibly shy or display tremendous confidence.  Playgroup is where her confidence is most apparent, which is understandable since these are the kids she has known the longest.  And, they have all been through adjustments and growing pains that have created interesting dynamics over the last few years.  There are definitely specific kids that she looks forward to seeing, but I think she has the best times when they are all playing together.  And now that we have Delaney with us, Franny understands that it is her job to look after Cole.  I am always very impressed with how well she does this.  When I see her confidence in these situations and then also see her painfully shy in others, it is hard to predict how she will be in the future. She is definitely not easily defined. And that is typical Franny—she always keeps me guessing.

This picture cracks me up—it looks almost like Cole is mimicking her.  Whether it was for humor or little brother adoration, I’m really not certain…
