A word about Rebekah

Confident

This is a new word in relation to Rebekah.  When she missed the school birthday deadline, we put her in an "early learner" kindergarden class (basically pre-K).  At the end of the year the teacher said academically we should put her in 1st grade the next year.  I looked at her, she was small and quiet and reserved even timid.  We let her do real Kindergarden the next year and it was the right choice, she flourished.  She is often quiet and often doesn't try new things because she isn't sure she will be good at it.

So here she is on the soccer field, she is fierce.  I watch her and wonder at the new creature she has become.
