See, August really is the month of all birthdays! Today, my other sister Adalin turns ten. Oh my gosh, I have so many things I want to say about her.

(this is a picture from about two years ago, but I thought it was too cute not to post)

I’d say that she is the kind of kid I wish I had been. I was smart and everything, but I was super awkward. Adalin is so cool. Like, if I were in fifth grade, I’d want to be her friend so badly. She writes amazing stories, does crazy flips in the air, learns every cool dance move – she is the bee’s knees!

In addition to being super smart and cool, Adalin has the most empathy I’ve ever seen in someone her age. Once we were playing with the sprinklers and pretending it was raining. She started singing, “It’s raining it’s pouring, the old man is snoring…” but she got super unsettled at that part where it says that he couldn’t get up in the morning. I told her the old man was just tired, and she just shook her head and said, “I don’t think so”. Oh my gosh! She is a deep lady… maybe a little too deep.

Everyone who meets her knows that there is something special about her. She’s unbelievable really. Happy, happy birthday to my dear Adalin! I love you so stinking much.
