6.1 Years
- When we git back from California, it was party time for you. We had about ten of you girls over here for a mermaid party. We started by having an after school snack. We then played a few games like pin the shell on the mermaid, hot potato with a shell, and bingo. We then had everyone get in the hot tub. It was pretty crazy, but you girls were giggling the whole time. We came out to eat cupcakes, open presents, and then end with a painting craft. You loved having your school friends and your church friends both there.
- March has been the new February this year with lots of snow. It has not let up. You love bringing your snow gear to school so you can play in the field with your friends. I laugh because when we got your class photo back, you were wearing your snow pants on the bottom and your cute floral shirt on top.
- The two big kids have started spring soccer. Because of that, we have been going to Lewiston each Saturday. It feel crazy at times with the long days there, but the weather has been better there (though still cold) so it has been nice to be able to get out and not have snow all over the place.
- The big news is that during spring break, there were a few dry days, so I would bring your bike to the school when the big kids were practicing. You learned how to ride a two wheel bike!!!! I am so proud of all your hard work. You still have a bit more to go, learning how to start the bike by yourself and just get in more in control, but you were riding it for over a minute before having to stop. I love seeing you so proud of yourself and wanting to go to the park to show off to your friends.
- I have been reading the Ivy and Bean books to you and you have loved it. It started out with seeing that Netflix made a movie out of three of them. I have read a few of them before to Maggie, but we are all laughing out loud during them. The movies were just as good. This is the first chapter book that you have really gotten into. We are in the middle of the fifth book.
- Your favorite song right now is Red Balloon. You love making up "hip hop" dances in your room to this song, along with a few others. You love your kindle. You have been listening to Trap in a Video Game using your headphones and then reading all the Press Start books. Your reading has soared so much this year, really opening up a whole new world for you. Favorite shows are Super Kitties and Phinneas and Ferb. You have enjoyed the switch just as much as the other kids. I think your best friend at school right now is Paige, though you are a kid that everyone likes. I hear so many parents tell me that their child comes home telling great things about you (though you hardly share much about your day).
