She's a sweet, strong girl and it's been so nice to have her home from school this month
Her Christmas wishes this year: a diary with a lock, a bed canopy and long-sleeved pjs
She got three diaries which is definitely not too many
Spends lots of time writing in them and sounding out words
So far her writing subject remains butterflies (let's hope it stays that way)
She'd really like a pet humming bird
Has a new best friend named Maya
Talks about her all the time
Sad to leave her old school
Came home with an excellent report card
Excelling in civic rules (no one is surprised!)
Marked as still "developing" her understanding of music (high/low, fast/slow etc)
Guess she is 100% my daughter - sorry Graham!
We are all going through a lot of transitions
Her reaction to these big changes have been manifested in a resistance towards Daddy
Wants to sit next to Mama EVERY meal
It's hard and we are working on it
Got to enjoy a special Daddy Date to the PNW Ballet Nutcracker
She dressed up in her leotard and ballet slippers and carried a wand
No longer wants to be an artist
Say her new future profession is to be in the snowflake dance of the Nutcracker
But is quick to tell you she's going to be in the shortened kids version of the show
Leaves me notes and art on my bedside table nearly every day
Would tell you her new favorite color is blue
I will tell you why if I must
Because that's the color in Frozen....
I blame Kindergarten for this obsession! Sigh
She and her sister have been playing really well together in our new house
I see a neat friendship budding there
The end
