I’m proud of my girl Eden.  She’s had a share of disappointments in sports and school in the last year, especially things that she has set goals for, worked to attain, and not reached.  And I know it has gotten her down.  I think she constantly compares herself to her older sister who is two years older.  It is impossible for Eden to realize how much difference there is in two years; she expects to be able to do everything Liz does.

I’m really proud of her when she picks herself up and takes things on.  This morning, she got up around 6:30 and we went for a run.  She is training for the Turkey Trot 5k.  This morning, we ran 1 mile for speed.  She got 9:01, her best time ever.  A few more weeks of this, and my girl is going to be ready.

I hope I am able to teach my daughters and sons that they are on the same team.  They are never competing against each other.  They are always each other’s biggest supporters in life.
