At 4 1/2, Amanda is a sensitive little soul with a soft spot in her heart for all God’s creatures. She likes to make structures out of blocks for her toy animals, or uses the doll house and toy barn and fences. She has a very active imagination and likes to make up stories and pretend scenarios for her animals. She loves the little toy castle Uncle Larry sent for Christmas and diligently keeps the “choke-able” pieces away from Bethany.
Being the middle child, Amanda knows how not to get lost in the shuffle. She’s the most strong-willed of the three, has a very strong sense of justice, and is the most likely to become defiant when she thinks she’s in the right, or defensively embarrassed if she knows she’s wrong. If she thinks one of her sisters hurt her on purpose or that mommy isn’t being fair, her lower lip sticks out a mile and she pouts like a pro. Mommy is trying to teach her that justice must be tempered with mercy, and that love forgives quickly and doesn’t hold grudges.
