Happy Birthday Annalee

Her actual birthday was yesterday May 1. Her big day will be celebrated in a variety of ways. Last night the Henrys came and spent the night. We made cupcakes and watched a movie. Next week we will have another small party with mamaw and Mady Henry, her best friend since birth, then a trip to town for some Maggie Moos. YUMMY. Of course the big blow out isn't until closer to Mary-Grace's birthday in June. I will reveal all secrets later but just know for now it is going to be huge...22 little girls huge.

Before I had Annalee I always wondered what her little personality would be like. Elyona was the typical first born pleaser, while Bailey was the demanding, second born fire ball. Where would Annalee fit into that mixture. Well, just as God intended...perfectly. She is and was the most mild mannered child ever. Of all 7 she is the most easy going. As a baby we could put her in any situation and she would adapt. She is the same way now, very laid back and goes with the flow type of girl. But that is her life here on earth with us common folk. Most of the time Annalee is actually in another world that usually consists of princess and castles with a fairy godmother and, of course, a prince. She lives in la la land most of the time. If we are doing school, she is drawing ball gowns, if we are cleaning, then she is Cinderella singing with the mice. If we are watching American Idol she is pondering her own stage show that she would perform. But she is not a performer. Very seldom does she ask me to watch her do or perform anything. We have to catch her in front of the bathroom mirror or outside by herself. Her enjoyment in her pretend performances isn't for any one's enjoyment but her own. She can remember lines from movies like they were etched in her brain the first time she heard them. She can remember songs with ease. She cannot, however, remember her times tables.
I interviewed her for this blog so I could get some details. This blog time about Annalee is actually good for me because it makes me think about her. She is the one of all 7 that will go unnoticed by me. It's nice at times but it is also sad. She doesn't demand my attention so she doesn't get much of it. She is so worthy of it too. She is a precious child. Here is my interview.
