Everleigh Rose. She's almost seven. She has a loving, empathetic heart. She works hard. She plays hard. She sleeps hard. When she speaks French with her beautifully authentic accent, my heart breaks a little. She loves to "trick" us by cracking a hard boiled egg on her head. It never gets old. After school, while Asher takes his afternoon nap, she draws and I cook. She tells me wonderful stories. Some are true, some are made up. It's my favourite time of the day. #everleighrose #everleighissix (at Dundas, Ontario)

Grade one, here she comes! #everleighrose #everleighissix

Montessori has been the best thing ever. E goes into grade one armed with the ability to speak French, add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers, and read chapter books. More importantly, she has learned how to forge her own way on the battlefield (er, playground), and wears a newfound confidence that makes my heart burst with pride. Big changes are ahead, little one. But I have no doubt you will plough through the bumps of elementary school as you have everything else in your little life. #Montessori #endofanera #everleighissix

The first thing she said to me this morning was, "Look, Mom! My legs grew!" She's been my marker of time. And today she's just so incredibly six. 😳 #everleighrose #everleighissix
