So far, living with my brothers it was difficult. Of course i loved my brothers and my parents but they were being around the boys more than me. I loved both children so it made me feel jealous. 

"What's wrong Elizabeth?" Mama asked when she put both the boys down for a nap. 

"Nothing." I said as I flicked through the channels on the TV.

"Is it to do with being the only girl?" Mama asked.

I hung my head. I didn't want my mother to know the truth but it seemed to be obvious.

"You know me and your dad are doing a birthday party for your seventh birthday?" Mama asked.

I didn't know. My head popped up, now I was listening. 

"I didn't know about it." I told her.

"Well, we'll have a photo shoot to celebrate and we'll have a cake and a mini-party." Mama explained. 

I couldn't wait. My favourite thing would be the photo shoot booked.

"When will the photo shoot take place?" I asked.

"It'll take place two days before you're seventh birthday." Mama replied. 

I couldn't wait. All I needed was some new clothes for my birthday photo shoot. 

"Can we go shopping for new clothes?" I asked. 

"Of course. I was thinking we could go shopping in Beverley Hills." Mama said. 

Mama and Papa had already took me shopping in Beverley Hills and I loved it! I really enjoyed shopping and I loved getting new clothes. 

I immediately ran to tell Papa the news. 

"Papa, can we really go shopping in Beverley Hills?" I asked. 

"Of course but your mother's taking you because I'm not a fan of shopping." Papa replied.

I was so happy! I decided to run around in the yard with Jack and Jill.

After around fifteen minutes of playing with the dogs, Mama and Papa came out together and walked over to me. 

"We're thinking about a big present for you for your birthday. What would you like?" Mama asked.

"Can I get a horse?" I asked. 

"I don't think money stretches to a horse." Papa replied.

"But your a Hollywood star! You have loads of money! You could get a horse for each of us, including the boys!" I argued. 

"We booked your photo shoot by the way. It's in two days time." Papa said. 

Yes! I couldn't wait for my photo shoot. I was never shy for the camera.
