She's medium







Beebster is not our 'middle' child. I hate the term 'middle child.' 

She is our MEDIUM girl. I like 'medium' much better than 'middle.'

And, Faith is the perfect medium daughter and sister. 

Beebster melts hearts. The girl is too darn adorable. She says the cutest things and looks at you with the most precious of faces. I love listening to the running dialogue between she and her beloved older sister, her Dee. Right now they are on the floor of our room looking at all of their Fairy chapter books from the library, and you just hear Faith keep saying "see this, Dee.. see this, Dee" (look at this, Maddie) because she is showing Maddie the pages of her book. I can hear Beebster saying "dis Beck, Dee?" (is this Beck, Dee?) and Maddie saying "No, that's Fawn" and now Maddie is explaining about the different talents of the fairies while Faith says "Ohhhhhhhh, Dee!" 

You can see that total admiration in Faith's eyes for her older sister. It's so neat.

And, then to see the relationship unfold between Faith and her baby sister is equally as amazing. Beebster is still a baby to me, and yet she's fast becoming a Dee to her Beeba Show. You can see that Abrie thinks of Faith what Faith thinks of Maddie. Faith loves her Beeba Show for the simplest reason: that Abrie is her baby sister, and she is perfect because of that. She loves to give her Show 'squishy cheeks' (and Faith laughs and laughs at how Abrie looks when she does this), she'll come running when it's time to read Abrie her books because she wants to sit right next to her and give her a head rub, and she's always on the floor on her stomach showing Abrie toys and playing right along with her.

I love my Beebster. And, I know her two sisters think she's the perfect 'medium' sister that they could ever imagine in their lives.
