Sometimes it makes me snicker, the incongruity of size vs. competence. Fiona is small for her age, but with her bright optimism and her older siblings as models, she has a strong independent streak. She insists on being very grown up. On Fridays I laugh about giving a ride home to the proprietor of the local tea business … who is still in a booster seat. And on a Sunday morning our baker of delicious chocolate walnut brownies needs to sit upon the kitchen counter to reach the mixer.
The brownies were wonderful, by the way.

Your description of your daughter reminds me of mine, who is “10 going on 30” (if you'll forgive the overused description). I love it when their personality and intellect are so much bigger than their body!
