Well Kim, I certainly feel like the idiot!
But I know sometimes not all families want "classic" portraits, and figured that was not what you wanted to do. I apologize if I was leading you astray, I think casual poses with kids can make great portraits.
I am attaching one that may not be technically correct after all I have learned regarding classical realism in portraiture, but it is a pastel that has brought the family much pleasure.
I am so happy to hear your daughter is doing so great!
