My take on her: Whitney is very loving and nurturing. She is quick to compliment and makes those around her feel good. Reading has come easily to her and she spends lots of quality time with books. She is an indoor girl--would much rather color or play with dolls than go outside. Music is a big part of her life,
It's easy to forget that she has Duane's Syndrome. When she was diagnosed five years ago, I feared that it would always be her defining characteristic--what people noticed about her first. But with the help of Dr. Buckley, it has become a minor inconvenience at this point. (Let's hope it stays that way!) She is such a blessing in our family.
always singing
and dancing.

Whit I love the way you create your own dances! It's so fun to see your groove! Love ya, Gigi
Her new haircut looks so cute! Do you like it? Does she like it?
Whoa! I went to post a comment on Caroline and it's already Whitney's turn! I just love reading all this fun facts about your kids - they are fascinating.
Love,
Grandma Sweat
Amy--YES, we all love Whit's new haircut. There are a couple of girls in her class that have similar haircuts. I think she wanted to look like them. For several days she asked for it, and I was happy to oblige. Less hair-combing time for me, cute 'do for her. We're all winners!
I love her description of a bank. It cracks me up!
It's not fair. Brandon's profile gets 12 comments to Whitney's 5?
A beautifull girl who likes to sing and dance---who could ask for anything more?
Indeed, she is a beautiful singing and dancing girl. AND she loves to give compliments!! My favorite picture of Whitney is the one up against the rock wall. What a beauty!
