Double Digits: Lucie


Our incredible girls clicks over to double digits today. In honor of Lucie's tenth birthday, here are her answers to 10 burning questions, perfectly capturing her at this silly, inquisitive, break-your-heart amazing age. (Time, why can't you just slow down?)

1. Tell me five great things about you - even though we know there are more than five!
(1) I'm really creative. (2) I know how to share an inside joke. (3) I can do lots of funny accents and I know lots of funny phrases. (4) I really like doing my own thing. I like to do things my own way and not use someone else's ideas. (5) Ask my mom! (I say: her warm and calming spirit, loyalty towards friends and family, and dazzling intelligence)

2. What do you know how to do that you can teach to others?
Knit! I can make a pillow out of duct tape! And, I know lots of good slinky tricks.

3. What do you think will be a new privilege that comes with being 10 years old?
Doing more things by ourselves, for example walking to school or staying home by ourselves. 

4. How would you like to celebrate your 10th birthday?
I would like to celebrate it with a gigantic cake and all my friends and family.

5. What are some of your favorite words?
Compulsory and Shish Kabob

6. How would you spend your perfect Saturday afternoon?
Probably depends on the weather. If it was raining, I would stomp around in puddles in my rain boots. If it was sunny, I would do some cartwheels outside while listening to music. Then I would dance! And, then I'd go inside and read a mysterious fantasy book. 

7. What would you love to eat daily for every meal?
Breakfast: chocolate pancakes, Lunch: turkey, cheese and lettuce sandwich on french bread, grapes and a Chips Ahoy, Snack: hot chocolate and popcorn, Dinner: Turkey a la King

8. On the subject of food, do you like salty or sweet things?
Salty! I love pickles!

9. What are you most looking forward to about our upcoming trip to London and Florence?
I'm looking forward to seeing what the fashion is in London. It will be fun to see all the sites in London and Florence - definitely Leaning Tower of Pisa! All the food in Italy will be really good too. I'm looking forward to Book Club with Gigi in the Italian countryside and playing with my cousins on the really big treehouse. 

10. How do you like fourth grade?
I really like my teacher. I like how she does things. When one kid in class stuck a piece of paper on his nose, instead of telling the kid that he was being distracting, she told him that was a good idea and told everyone to stick a piece of paper on their nose. The kid was very surprised by that!

We are so proud of the girl you've become, Lucie. Have a wonderful 10th birthday!
