8th Birthday

Annual Update:

Things you love:1. Art/STEM-
Here are a few pics of things you've created this year. You love experiments, cooking, and building. One weekend - I just looked out in the backyard and you making a table with the drill!

You made this apple dish out of clay and even a little spot for peanut butter!

 Out of clay - it's perfect for your ears when you are in the pool -

 You made this entire house out of cardboard, toothpicks, and paper!

 You made a charging station-

2. Lego-
You do still love building, especially with Daddy- and we have bought even more sets. When you get a new one, you immediately sit down for hours to finish it! We loved watching the Lego Masters competition show together.

3. Outgoing-
Your outgoing-ness will never cease to amaze me. You just love meeting people, asking questions, and making new friends. 

Things you have done on your own-
At Seagrove - rode your bike (with Maevy), got fish from the fish market for dinner.

In Nashville, went into a gas station (with a mask) bought your own snack, and when you got the wrong thing, you went back in and returned it.

Goals:1. Writing/Spelling -
You are doing great, but I hope to see these skills improve over the next year!

2. Independent Learning
As we get into 3rd grade, I would love see your independent learning abilities improve. You really love attention, and tend to rely help from your teachers, friends, and myself. I really hope we can make progress on your building your confidence and desire for initiative. 

Bedtime update:
Huge news- you are sleeping in your bed! It only took 8 years!
We moved your room around, and took off the loft stairs. You love your bottom little spot! Sometimes - you still fall asleep in my bed, but when Daddy is around he moves you. When he's gone - you do still sleep with me, but I don't really mind. 

Love -
Mommy & Daddy
