Happy 6th Birthday sweetheart! Wow, you are growing up so very fast, sometimes too fast! You started kindergarten this fall and are LOVING it! On the first day you told your younger brothers not to miss you too much since you would gone until almost dinner time and then very proudly marched off to school. You love everything about school right now, particularly the socializing, learning new things, coloring, following rules, having routines, etc…you are all about school right now! You are also playing soccer, playing the piano, gymnastics and ballet. In soccer, you have moved from never wanting to touch the ball last year, to being the most aggressive kid on the team, not afraid of anything and scoring lots of goals. You tried out for the Nutcracker ballet a few weeks back and landed the part of a cupcake so you are super excited. You continue to be very outgoing and make friends very easily. At home you remain super helpful and are my regular "babysitter" while I make dinner, take a shower, etc. You love playing with Nicholas and Henry too, especially "making parties" in the basement, playing Legos, and building blocks, and riding bikes together. You are reading very well and really enjoy it. You are quite athletic, aggressive and brave but also love to snuggle and hug more than any of the kids. You love to have your picture taken, to write notes and lists for all of us, and to play "puppies and kitties" with your friends. You have an enormous tender heart combined with a spit fire personality and we love every bit of you through and through Gracie Grace! Happy birthday!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
