Wow, it really is hard to believe that she is already 9!
She continues to be very active. She is still in gymnastics.
She loves gymnastics the most. She works so hard to learn each trick. She
really is the most focused when she is doing gymnastics. She is also in dance, where jazz is her
favorite. I think this is because she gets to be sassy…and she is a sassy girl!
She was in swimming in the fall. She has mastered the basics (a mom and dad
requirement), so now she is deciding if she wants to continue. She is going to
start guitar lessons at the end of February. She is so excited about learning
how to play the guitar. She would also like to take skating lessons again, but
we have to figure out how to fit that in the schedule!!
She is the best big sister. She makes sure Amber is taken care
of and not left out. She also is there for her little sister whenever she is
sad or hurt. I love that even though they are 5 years apart, they both seem to
love being together (most of the time). She remains a kind, caring and sensitive girl. She
does still struggle at times with excessive whining syndrome (or EWS :)). This
does seem to be getting better at the relief of mom and dad!
She works hard in school. Her favorite part of
the day…recess! She doesn’t particularly love to do homework (can’t say that I
know many kids who do), but she is getting better at realizing if she does her
homework right the first time, she doesn’t have to do it again! She still is
showing strength in math.
She loves watching the Olympics. She is trying
to decide what sport she will do when she is in the Olympics!! Apparently she
thinks that she is going to be a figure skater in the Winter Olympics and be a
gymnast in the Summer Olympics! Dream BIG baby girl, Dream BIG!!
