I don't know how but Jane Austen has described my daughter to a tee! This is an excerpt from "Northanger Abby":
"Writing and accounts she was taught by her Father; French by her Mother. Her proficiency in either was not remarkable, and she shirked her lessons in both whenever she could. What a strange unaccountable character! for with all these symptoms of profligacy at ten years old, she had neither a bad heart nor a bad temper, was seldom stubborn, scarcely ever quarrelsome, and very kind to the little ones, with few interruptions of tyranny. She was, moreover, noisy and wild, hated confinement and cleanliness, and loved nothing so well in the world as rolling down the green slope at the back of the house."
That is my girl and I love her so much!
Thank you Jane for putting into words what I could not.
