my girl

Whitney. My little angel. 


So helpful. SO thoughtful and empathetic. We drove home from the (other) Porter's house a few days ago and started listing all of Whitney's talents for her. We were still listing when we pulled into our driveway 10 minutes later. 


She got a razor scooter for her birthday. She scoots that thing like its an extension of her body. I love to watch her on it. 


She loves her brothers with reckless abandon. Seriously. She has hurt both of them multiple times by her unbridled loving. The pressure just builds and builds until she has to release the love and it explodes out of her in rip-roaritous laughter and hugs so tight that her body shakes and her teeth clench. 
LOVE.

She overheard me tell Jenner (MONTHS ago) that Stuart has eagle eyes and that she's the very opposite. She has reminded me proudly for months that she is an opposite and "what does opposite mean again, mom?" So I told her the opposite of eagle eyes is elephant memory. She never forgets a word or conversation she hears (as illustrated here.) Anyway, that night, she proudly reminded me that Stuart has eagle eyes and that she is an opposite AND has elephant memories, and then asked what else she's good at. So we told her. :)
