Rilyn is ‘girly’. There are many examples of this, but I will share just a few of the more recent ones.
Every day, she comes home with her writing assignment from kindergarten. And everyday, there is a constant theme running through them…(especially in the pictures)

| “I like my sister Ella.” |
 |
| “I like to add the unicorn.” |
 |
| “I am riding on a unicorn.” |
 |
| This one got cut off on my scanner…”If I was going to a party I would bring m y jewelry and my glass slippers.” |
And recently at school when I asked how her day was, she told me, “Romantic.” “Why?” I asked, ever so curious. “Because I square danced with a boy.” (It was a Mexican Independence Day celebration dance they were learning I found out later.)
When asked what she wants for Christmas, she replied, “Dangly earrings.”
When I told Rilyn yesterday that we would start soccer in the spring, she replied, “I decided I don’t want to because I will get all hot and sweaty. Can I have art lessons?” (I can only imagine how many more unicorns, castles, and princesses will be drawn…)

I see that Rilyn gave Ella a crown too in the first drawing. Good for her!! I doubt Halle would ever show that type of equality in her drawings depicting her family in fantasy land.
Rilyn has artistic ability just like her mommy and grandpa! Love it!
