About Cara...revised

C is a gentle, sensitive little girl. She has a geniune care and concern for others. Like her mom she is more of an introvert in new settings and tends to hang back assessing until she is comfortable. Then, watch out. If she's comfortable with you, she is ALL IN. Sometimes her confidence isn't there and we work hard to make her feel good about herself and to see how strong and smart she is. There's a determination within her that I think will benefit her down the road because she does not give up. If something is difficult she may get frustrated initially but she keeps trying and trying. I love her sweetness. Her smile. The way her eyes light up when something excites her or makes her happy.
