We’re like a quarter of the way done? Perhaps even more? Nooooo!

This year this big kid learned to ski, comfortably flying down blue slopes, she became an absolute monster on her bike, and probably most importantly, got really comfortable with her numbers and letters thanks to her amazing teachers.

Despite our best efforts, she’s already not eating much; school and endless birthday parties have spoiled her appetite and choices quite a bit. She loves reading (we’re still reading to her, but she’s already into Harry Potter so that’s good for us!), requires we sit with her for 15-30 minutes after lights out, still comes into our bed in the middle of most nights, and can be a “handful,” which I suppose I deserve. Regardless, she’s a lovely granddaughter, daughter, and big sister, and we love her endlessly.

She’s got big summer plans with camps and trips galore, and will be beginning kindergarten next fall!
