Five.Seven Months

 5.7 Months

• Soccer is in full swing. You have made friends on your team and really enjoy going to the games. You are pretty spacey during the games and will start talking to other players. It is funny to watch your coach constantly reminding you to focus on the ball. As much as you enjoyed it, I think next year you want to do dance from the beginning. 
• Kindergarten is in full swing. You have several friends that you knew beforehand in your class like Sam Stone, Annie Willis and Audrey from preschool. But you have also made new friends such as Paige and Rowen. The crazy stuff is that you have crushes already and are not afraid to talk about them. You really like Jack and Timo right now. I asked you about Jack the other day. I asked if you play with him, if he is funny, or if you sit by him in class. You replied by saying, "I like his hair." Oh boy. Then the other day, you started talking more about Timo. You get excited when you see him at Sam's wrestling practice. I guess you girls were writing cards to the two boys and you told me that you made a lot more for Timo. Another story about boys, there is this first grader on the bus. He  asked Patty if you could change seats and sit with him. Patty teased and told him as long as you don't kiss you. Well, he totally kissed you on the cheek. You then tattled to Patty that he kissed you.
• We made a quick weekend trip to Grandma and Papa Matthews's cabin. Almost all the cousins were there. We left at 4am and made a couple of stops, which made the drive feel long. Up at the cabin, you kids worked hard to build a house out of the fallen logs. you had Uncle Mark drop in a pallet in the middle of it so you could have a table. You girls were cute to pick flowers for a bouquet. It was good to spend the last night at Grandma's house and have that time for her to read to you and put you to bed. 
• Birthdays are always fun and you were able to go to two parties-one for Megan McKnight (a unicorn party at the park) and the other one for McCall Carey (a puppy party at Jungle Gyms).
• A highlight for this month was the Jog-a-thon. Dad was able to be there for the first time. You loved having him and me run around the track with you. The bubbles was really fun and I loved seeing you dance through them.
