If you spent any real time with Quinn, there was no denying there was a powerful engine inside of him, not a whiff of inertia to his being, but my son was clearly a square peg in a world of round holes and no amount of touting his unique abilities was going to make him capable of identifying simple images.nbsp; It seemed the monster opponent of standardized tests had me in a Tonga death grip - fighting for air - and Team Quinn was clearly down for the count.nbsp; He was only just two and I was ready to surrender.nbsp; Red-faced with anger and shame, I quickly answered #8220;NO #8230; NO HE CAN#8217;T!#8221; to every question and passed the survey to the receptionist on our way into the exam room.br /

Upon entering, the nurse brusquely asked me to take off Quinn#8217;s clothes and shoes so that she could weigh him, but as soon as I tried he began frantically trying to disentangle himself from my arms.nbsp; He was making a familiar sound, one that demanded my attention, one that said he had something to show me.nbsp;nbsp; (No, he didn#8217;t point yet #8211; but I knew when my son was trying to engage in #8220;shared attention#8221;.)nbsp; And so I let him wiggle his way out of my arms and onto the floor.nbsp; He crawled to the nurse#8217;s feet, but I didn#8217;t understand what was so exciting about this particular woman, and because she seemed rather annoyed with our unwillingness to cooperate with the weigh-in, I hurriedly followed Quinn to the floor #8230; and that#8217;s when I understood what all the fuss was about.nbsp; The nurse#8217;s shoes were the exact same shoes as Quinn#8217;s beloved babysitter#8217;s #8211; a gold Nike swoosh on white leather.nbsp; Quinn had grabbed a hold of those shoes for dear life and was looking at me with immense pride, as if to tell me that not only could he identify simple images, he could imatch/ispan style=font-style: normal; them./span
pSarah turned#0160;8 at the beginning of February (I know, better late than ever mom!)./p
pEight years of me being her mother. Wow./p
pWhen she was born, I could project out into the future how she would grow in my mind, but it never really seemed quot;realquot;. Motherhood, much of the time, is lived very in the moment. When she was a newborn and I was a new born mother, I was amazed to make it through to the end of any given day, so the idea of how she would be and how I would be years from that moment was inconceivable./p
pOn the other side of that time period, my mind reels at how fast it went by. It also stuns me how much I don#39;t remember about those days and how I can#39;t see her as that baby now, but only as this child. I remember many things about when she was little, but I must admit many of the things seem quot;made upquot; to me now. Did she really do that…am I remembering it right or is my mind just filling in the blanks created by time?/p
pAs I was thinking about all this, I realized that#0160;though I#39;ve documented so much about Sarah in words and photos, I really never concretely made the effort to write down specifics. So, as she starts her 8th year of this thing that is her life and growth, I thought I#39;d jot down some things I want to remember about her and things she#39;ll more than likely never remember when she is my age, with babes of her own./p
p/p
p#0160;br /Sarah, this is you, right now, age 8, year 2010, in the second grade:/p
pFirst some of the physical stuff…/ppYour hair, obviously is chin length, you are fair skinned, like me, and the blue eyes you had as an infant have turned to my color green. People say you look like your dad, case closed.#0160;However, you#39;re one of the shortest kids in your class. Sorry, it#39;s my side of the genetics there kid. You will be petite with my rump, more than likely. It#39;s really not as bad as it sounds. You were growing rather slowly, though steadily, the past couple of years. But lately, you are sprouting up and out! You and your sister are close in size…hands the same size…and are wearing the same size clothes! Didn#39;t see that one coming./p
pNow on to your brain!/p
pYou are smart!! You have always been super smart, and I know you always will be. You take after your father (and I, I will humbly say) in your love of learning. You hate math like me however. But, you love science and writing and history. You read ALOT. You#39;ve been reading now for three years (wow) and are on a 7th grade level or higher, which stuns your father and I. He recently took you to the bookstore and you wanted seven books. He let you only get three. They were chapter books of more than 100 pages each. You had read all of them in about four days! I LOVE that you love to read and can do it so well. You#39;ve read some classics already…Black Beauty and Anne of Green Gables…all by yourself. Good girl!!!/p
pAnd what I#39;m most proud of is that you like being smart and want to be smarter. We have tried to hammer home how important having a good head on your shoulders is, both mentally and figuratively. You seem to, already at eight years old, get it. Thank God and I hope it sticks…through those rocky teen years./p
pNow for your personality…of which you have TONS!/p
pYou are well liked by pretty much everyone you meet. You have dozens of friends. They all think you are smart, funny, brave and kind. They would be right. Just today you told me that a friend told you that a person can only have one best friend. You said you told her that wasn#39;t true, that you have about 8 best friends. You do./p
p br /#0160;#0160;/p
pYou got in trouble quite alot in first grade, so much that we were really concerned about you being able to stay at the magnet school you attend. This year, in second grade, we haven#39;t had one issue. Not one! You haven#39;t gotten in trouble for talking too much even. We are SUPER proud of you and knew you could do it. Your teachers all love you and have every since you started preschool. You have a real fondness this year for your second grade teacher, which I think has made all the difference./p
pYou want to be funny…and think that you are. You are always trying to make people laugh, which got you in trouble in the past in school. Acting silly and laughing are your two favorite things. It can be both charming and highly annoying (when you won#39;t stop with the antics)./p
pYou LOVE dogs. In fact, the theme for your birthday party this year is dogs. You have a collection of stuffed dogs (probably 50 or so) that all started with the first toy I ever bought you, a little stuffed puppy. You play with those stuffed dogs more than anything else and it#39;s been that way for a couple of years now. They all have names and personalities and you consider them your most prized possessions./p
pYou plan for the future. You think of what you will be like when you grow up and often times you make a point (I think anyway) of telling me that you want to be like me when you#39;re big, which moves me beyond words.#0160;/p
pYou are VERY sentimental (just like your mama) and keep things with full intent of giving them to your children some day. Again, this is something I adore in you and hope really continues./p
p br /#0160;/p
pYou are so bossy. I won#39;t expound on this, but you#39;ve been like this since you could walk. I have no idea where you get it from, lol. (Secret…I sort of suspect it#39;s because your mama is a bit on the control freak side herself)./p
pYou LOVE your sister and have started to really take on the role as big sister, making her breakfast and lunch, helping her with things, keeping her in line and teaching her things. You absolutely hate it when she doesn#39;t listen to you and the things you say to her to scold her make the hair on my arms stand up…because you sound JUST like me. She recently got into your magnet school. When you found out, you cried because you had been afraid that you two would be separated. I love you both so much./p
p/p
p#0160;/p
pYou LOVE art and say often that you want to be an illustrator and author of children#39;s books when you grow up. You have been drawing in detail since you were about three. It astounded us how detailed you made your crayon scribbles at that age. It has only gotten better as you#39;ve grown and you recently asked me to get your art history books and books on art techniques.#0160;/pp#0160;/p
pAlong with your love of art, you love to write also. I can#39;t begin to tell you how much this means to me. As a writer myself, we share this trait and I see it really bonding us as you grow. You have written countless books (with illustrations) and your teacher this year said your skill was truly amazing. Keep it up girlie!/pp#0160;/ppYou really want to be like me. Go figure. I#39;m not just being all fat-headed here…you tell me so all the time. From your love of antiques, to your interest in photography and gardening, you and I are definitely kindred spirits on many levels. This is my dream come true and I love you so much for picking a goof-ball like me to aspire to be. Please just pick the good traits to emulate, ok. I recently taught you how to knit…you took to it like a natural and now we share that hobby in common too!/p
p#0160;/p
pYou adore your father. I mean ADORE him. You#39;ve always been a daddy#39;s girl, but it hasn#39;t waned one bit the bigger you#39;ve gotten. You and he have your own way of communicating and butting heads. You emulate him too with your interest in science, your LOVE and mad skills at video games and computers and love of movies. You are also taking piano lessons…mostly because daddy plays and, of course, you want to do everything he does that you think is cool. He is cool Sarah and you are so lucky to have him…we all are./pp#0160;/p
pYou have one very cool and close relationship with your Aunt Cathie. She has been close to you from day one and I was curious to see as you got bigger if you might cool a bit in wanting to be with her as much. But, having been like that towards her as a child myself, I totally understand. You trust her implicitly and nothing she does with you could ever be deemed un-fun or uncool. She took you to your first rock concert last year, The Jonas Brothers…just as she did me when I was a bit older than you (Rick Springfield, lol). I think you will always have a close relationship with her and that makes me very happy. She loves you beyond words./pp/ppYou are one brave and mature girl. Since you were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age three, you have stunned us with how well you#39;ve dealt with this challenge. You take care of yourself. You are ok with it. You know what you have to do to take care of yourself and it is NO BIG DEAL. You are a role model for other children who might have obstacles to overcome themselves. You got really sick with a stomach bug this past year and we had to got the local hospital, where they decided you need to be transferred to Vanderbilt Children#39;s Hospital via ambulance. You were a champ (I was a hot mess). #0160;I am not worried about you one bit!#0160;#0160;/p
p#0160;#0160;#0160;/p
pYou talk alot…too much at times. You never stop talking. It has been a running joke amongst the entire family (and your teachers) for years. You FINALLY have put a lid on it at school (thank you Jesus), but at home…whoa Nelly! We often times just look at each other, your father and I, and make motions of you jabbering on with our hands…you are oblivious, spouting off without a care in the world. We tell you that you need to cut it back…that silence is golden, but you can#39;t hear us for all the TALKING. The only time you#39;re quiet is at school or when you are asleep…or playing a video game, sometimes. Sarah…SSSHHH!/pp br /#0160;/ppHmm, what else? Your favorites:/ppMeat. You love ribs, steak, chops, hamburgers. You are a carnivore and proud of it.#0160;/ppYou have eaten a peanut butter and jelly sandwich pretty much every single day for lunch for the past five years. You are a creature of habit, truly./ppYou love sweets. Irony. Diabetic. (you control yourself very well)/ppYou are not a picky eater, thank goodness (see your sister, the PICKY eater)./ppYou like eating healthy and read the nutritional labels on food. You want to learn to cook…go figure, since I abhor cooking.#0160;/p
p#0160;/p
pYou like all kinds of music and are open to whatever we listen too. Right now Michael Jackson is big with you and your sister./ppYour favorite thing to do is stay home in your gown all day and play.#0160;/ppYou love to have special one on one days with your father and I. We cherish those days./ppYou love Target.#0160;/ppYou love Books a Million./ppYour favorite restaurant is the Chop House (see note about your love of meat)./ppYour favorite outfit is jeans and a tshirt…you are a very casual kind of girl. You don#39;t really like clothes, but you like looking cute./ppYou love Animal Planet, America#39;s Funniest Home Videos and Discovery (Planet Earth is your favorite). You love silly and gross cartoons and iCarly./pp#0160;/ppYou tell us all the time, out of the blue, how much you love all of us and how lucky you are to have such a good family, good home and good life. There is nothing more in this world than I am more grateful for than having you…and you telling me this. I love you, Stinky Face./p
