Day 58: Stephanie
I typically upload my photo before I pack up for work, or plan ahead and upload it the night before and just mark it private. I did neither, so I’m posting this late.
This is my seven year old niece, Stephanie Lyn. In our family, we pass on middle names, and she was the lucky one to be named after me. It was fantastic to have her here since my opportunities to visit with her are rare. The one thing I remember most about her when she was younger was at 1 1/2 years old, I could understand about 90% of what she said. I could never believe that I was talking to a 1 year old. Now at 7, I can not believe that I’m talking to only a 7 year old. Her intelligence is amazing. That could be a biased opinion, since she is part of “Clan Lyn” as I call it. The conversation usually goes:
My brother: She thinks she knows everything.
Me: She doesn’t think she knows everything. She does know everything. She’s a Lyn.
I must have missed out, as I got my grandmothers maiden name for my middle name instead of my dad’s middle name “Lynn” (an extra n for a double dosage of smartness)
