I am so talented

Big Sister talking to herself. "I am so talented because I am so good at riding a bike and flying a kite. Let's see. What else am I good at? I am a great artist. I am good at math because I get extra work to do."

I love the confidence! If only it would remain in the forefront of her mind when she did something differently than hoped or she "falls and has to get up and back on the horse".

It's a terrible feeling (sometimes) when you realize how much you are like your parents. I think it is much harder to see the traits you don't like about yourself emerging from your child(ren).
