A Third Grader's Smile

I've decided this sweet, awkward, precious third grader smile is one of the cutest things on the planet.

I was surrounded by them at the lunch table yesterday and practically melted with the cuteness.

8 and 9 is a great age. They are still sweet but not too little.

This is the fabulous smile that Clara won't show much anymore, but she gave me on her birthday.

See her new earrings.

And her cool birthday shirt read: In a field of horses, Be a unicorn!

Looking back on my 3rd grade smile, I thought it looked hideous. It is a very awkward time, but cute, oh so cute...just not mine;).

Clara is a doll! My great niece is 13 today and I definitely see her transitioning into a lovely young lady.
