According to Wiki, seven is a natural number following six and preceding eight (it actually says that). To us, seven took on new meaning as Allie, our youngest, became seven years old.
And, although seven is the sum of any two sides of a standard die, Allie is anything but standard.
As anyone who has met her knows, she very articulate, sometimes to a fault, and is a very thoughtful girl. Many times, I've wished that I'd captured what she said because it was so poignant, but I usually forget.
And perhaps that's the lesson here...we can't possibly remember every thing our children say or record every second of their lives. So soak it in, people. Because the day before yesterday, my daughter was three.
Which, by the way, is the only number besides seven in which a vector cross product ca be defined; but you knew that.
Happy birthday Allie!
