I really just think it's her age but there is nothing wrong with that. She is very sweet...both my kids are (not to brag); my mother always tells me I never give myself enough credit as a mother.

My husband was traveling about 5 days a week and sometimes 2 weeks at a time internationally until about 2 years ago so it was just me. I must have done something right.
