Beautiful story

That is such a beautiful age. From seven to nine, there's no pretense, no hatred or indifference (all that drama is still to come) Around this range, a girl just IS. And, it's this very is-ness that grabs me by the heart-strings and leads me around like a helpless puppy. I've often thought that this span (for boys and girls alike) is where their personalities are truly cemented, so to speak. And from seven to eleven, my, don't they just GLOW! Your young friends sound like they're very energetic and a lot of fun. Life just seems to drag on so between meaningful conversations and interactions such as this. We should all be so lucky. MB
