Gloria Joy is an amazing girl and she keeps us on her toes, in very different ways than her sister.
She wants a bikini and to be a zombie for Halloween (our answers: no & yes, but not to the church event, though she had a great comeback that Jesus was the best zombie ever). All year long she wants to read Halloween books and will sometimes wear all black and sometimes pink and sparkles. Her favorite shirt says Girls Rock and she said all the girls in the world rock and the only boys who rock are Jackson and Daddy. She loves all critters including bugs. She says she is ready to be a teenager but still often talks in a baby voice. She loves to hip hop dance to music in our living room but isn't too keen on participating in her ballet class, "I'm too tired" is her response and we are trying to figure out how to teach perseverance to a girl who has had an asthma diagnosis. She will joyful say, "Hola, como estas?" to anyone who mentions speaking Spanish but when I ask her to say goodbye to Arabic speaking friends instead of Mas Salama she says Banana. She wants to travel to Africa and loves wearing bindis (the red Indian dot). She can be picky with food but can also put away a ton of breakfast and mac & cheese. She says she is ready to be baptized because she invited Jesus into her heart a long time ago. She wants to know why God doesn't answer all her prayers. She wants to live by the ocean and be a doctor for sea animals and will walk along the shore and through fish back into the water so they can breathe and she will dive down to see if any whales has scratches and if they do she will put waterproof bandaids on them.
