Now on to number three, our sweet little Danica. Her personality has seemed to really blossom lately and she has grown up tremendously since her baby sister arrived. She is a wonderful big sister!
She is now going to Promesa five days a week and loving it. There aren't tears everyday as there were last year. She is ready to go and ready to learn. She is in the four year old class again this year since the cut off is at the end of March. Her day starts at 8:15 and ends at 1pm. I don't remember having homework in the states with preschool, but here it is the norm. They also do testing every month and Danica is usually in the top six. I know this because they post it monthly which is also very different from what we are used to. Although there are many differences Danica is doing well which is an answer to prayer. And just yesterday as we were walking up the hill to the mall a little boy behind us yelled, "Danica!" It was one of her classmates. I love that she has made new friends this year and is enjoying learning.
The picture above is her costume we rented for her dance at the school program for día de la familia which was basically a program celebrating family. Below is a picture from her 5th birthday. She is full of flair and full of fun just like in the picture. I tell Chris often that out of all the girls her personality is most like his; she is outgoing and loves to tease and joke around.
We are so thankful for the love and compassion Danica already exhibits at a young age. She comes to me often just to get a hug and say that she loves me. She knows that both of her grandpas are in heaven and asks many very good questions about heaven. And there are even times she will come and say that she is sorry that I don't have a Daddy anymore, which leads to more discussion about Jesus and heaven. We feel blessed to be able to parent these precious daughters God has so graciously given us.
