Dixie.

Sarah is showing stamina - practicing day after day after day to get it right.  She blew enough air to fill a hot air balloon.

And today, she whistled.  Really whistled - not just a raspy sound from puckery lips. 

She whistled a tune - not any particular tune, but varied notes in a row. 

I tell her, pretty soon she'll be whistling Dixie.

The pride in her newly acquired skill is Awesome.  Look at that face - so happy!

For the first time, I see some of my family in Sarah's face.  This picture reminds me of my grandmother - below the nose.
