Christina
is the best example of God’s grace to weary parents I have ever seen. Not only did God give us our last child in perfect physical condition (which was our only prayer during pregnancy), but he gave us a HAPPY child.
Christina wakes up happy, singing, smiling – just happy to greet the
new day. This is not a "put-on", or something for attention – she is
just that way. I know it may sound silly, but I can count on one hand the
times I’ve seen her really mad. At first I attributed it to her being the
"baby" of the family, with lots of attention, then I would look for
other "temporary" factors to explain it, but by now, I’m a believer.
She is 8 years old, and her basic personality and attitude hasn’t changed
since she was a baby - content in virtually any circumstance.
Christina isn’t as active as Deanna – she prefers to use her imagination and play pretend – a lot. She can "make a game" out of two sticks and a piece of paper; and it could keep her busy for hours. She loves to read, much like her brother Michael and sister Nina, learning to do so quite early, and improving dramatically at an early age.
