I see you’re wearing a birthday sticker. Happy birthday!
It’s two more days until my real birthday. I’m turning 7.
I’m excited because there’s this pool, and if you’re not tall enough, your parents need to go in. But if you’re tall enough, you get to go by yourself and your parents can just relax.

How’s your trip to New York going?
We first went to Philadelphia to go to Taylor’s graduation — she’s my big cousin. She’s going to be a doctor. And then we went to New York. We walked 100 miles.

Who are you here with?
My sister, my mom, and my dad. My dad looked around and followed us wherever we went. My mom helped us pick out the stuff. I got an ambulance and a school. I thought it would be good for my American Girl doll to get to learn.

What’s the best part of being here?
The shopping. I saw the big picture of Makena and picked her. Her hair looks like mine when it’s in braids. I also got her this dress — it’s fancy and it looks like my dress. And then someone painted her nails and her toes!
