D17 said that although all her friends are applying to go out of town and it would be fun she's decided she doesn't have to be like everyone else. She's always been the down to earth one of my two girls. She looks at reality and makes choices based on that not on only what she wants. She's always been a child who when things don't go her way she has a cry and then says "what can I do to make the best of this situation". I remember after her first shot at the Ontario Gymnastics Championships in Windsor where she bombed. Voldy and I were so concerned about what to say to her and how to help her through this poor performance. As we left the arena we asked her how she felt about what had happened and she replied "Well, I didn't do very well. I'll have to practice harder and come back and do better next year. Now, can we go to McDonald's?"That's my kid.
