Where shall we begin with 5-year-old Rhyann (pronounced Ryan)?  

Pokémon... That's a good topic I was not well versed in UNTIL I met the expert. Rhyann enjoys playing Pokémon cards with her older brother, Xavier, who I would have thought had the upper hand. But, no, Rhyann knew ALL the characters and pointed out her favorites in her Pokémon handbook. Everyone knows Pikachu – duh. But do you know what special powers her favorites have, including Popplio, Litten, Galarian Pontya? You'll have to ask her when you see her because I was overwhelmed with information, and this article would have turned into her handbook! 

Rhyann has many interests and talents encouraged by her family, as evident by her private art room complete with attached shower filled with ALL her stuffed animals. Can you feel the creative love?! Heck, if I had an extra shower, I would fill it with my favorite things, like chocolate. The unicorn she is holding is her top favorite, and Octonauts come in a close second. I was privileged to leave with an original work of art hand done on the spot.

Madison and Ellis are her best girlfriends, while tennis and gymnastics keep her in shape. She enjoys making cookies with her dad – the best part is tasting the batter. Girl after my own heart. When she goes to one of her favorite restaurants, Chipotle, she loves getting a quesadilla accompanied by rice and chips. Disney and Alaska are her favorite destinations. 

And finally, my favorite question to ask a 5-year-old:  

Q. What do you want to be when you grow up? 

A. A fairy. 

Q. What kind of fairy? 

A. A magic one.  

A. And a bank [she wants to work in a bank]. If I had a dollar to put in the bank for every time I heard that answer, well... I'd have one dollar to put in Rhyann's bank.
