# 5 Princess Loves to Dance

Princess is the fifth kid, loved and adored by all of us. She has a hoarse, low little voice. She has her own language, which is a crack-up. She will sit for a long time on my lap, and read me her favorite books in her language, over and over.

She sings Twinkle Twinkle now - just like #4 did at this age. She sings the tune, and says, 'Na na na na...." We have a tape with kid songs and every time we go upstairs for whatever reason she goes over to the dresser where the boom box sits, and reaches up and babbles at me to turn her tape on. So I do, and she dances so cute, with one leg pushing her whole body up, as she goes around and around in circles. I swear one of these days she's giong to fall down and hurt herself!

#5 absolutely loves the kitties, and is so gentle and sweet with them. She has no problem slugging her brothers on a daily basis, but has never once been rough with the cats.
She won't: leave her little hair thing in, eat her yummy chewable vitamins, eat anything red, stay out of things she knows are naughty, stop eating toothpaste, stop emptying the wipey boxes, and many other things too numerous to list. Yes, she is a handful, and strong-willed, and ornery, but we love her anyway!!
