Officially 13

Jessika Maree Harris

Today is the big day. What do you get a girl for her birthday when she asks for a dog or a laptop? I say NO to anymore animals and a laptop is not in the budget until she is 21. Jess has always been beating to her own drum. She always does exactly what she wants and never cares what anyone else thinks. I could never keep her neat and clean as a toddler because she just wouldn't have it. The first year of her life she would sit for hours in her car seat without making a peep. I could take her to meetings or to the store and she would sit so good. She then learned how to walk and she learned what freedom was. I would find her on top of the fridge digging in the bowl of candy. Each year brought new excitement. One year she threw a huge rock though our sliding glass door. One time she needed stitches in her leg for.... well we will never know what for because she was to young to tell us and so we never found out what she was doing. She was always a mess, and a laugh a minute. When she had heart surgery she never complained. She didn't want pain medicine, all she wanted was to play in the nursery with the toys. Now that she is a teenager she is adding to her sense of humor alot of SASS. She can be the sassiest thing when she wants to be. She is a loyal friend and never tells a secret she shouldn't, which stinks when I really want to get info out of her. She is a typical 13 year old girl who is completely boy crazy about one certain boy who shall remain nameless, but she really is daddy's little girl. She knows how to get her dad to do anything for her. Her quick wit keeps us on our toes never knowing what may fly out of her mouth. She is definitely one of a kind and that is exactly how we like her.
