She's in first grade and reading above grade level. Her favorite subject is math. But she loves music also.
She is shy around adults and strangers. Her word for it is nervous. One time she said 'mom, you know how I get nervous around them and talk soft.' I thought that was so cute how she recognized that she talked soft.
She is so beautiful. Except for her snaggle tooth. LOL. I know I am not the only parent that has dealt with that situation. She refuses to pull a tooth and it's just HANGING THERE! You can see the top of the tooth actually hanging off...and it's been that way all week! Seriously. I told her it needs to come out before she goes back to school for sure! Yeah-cause I'm totally in control of that.
She loves to do art projects. Right now she is cutting up magazines for a collage on a poster board. She came to me to ask for the supplies--so it's completely her idea to do it. She still has a great imagination.
She's also a deep thinker. Her questions sometimes give me pause. So far I've not been too stumped, but she hasn't ask about the birds and bees yet. Yikes. That would be a hum dinger.
I enjoy the time we get to spend alone together in the car home from school or to and from CCD. It's these times that she asks me questions and tells me stories. Then and bathtime. Or bedtime. Actually now that I think about it, bedtime is her favorite time to bend my ear. And I usually let her for a while because she can be stingy with her information at other times of the day. I have stopped trying to get anything out of her on the ride home from school about what actually happened at school that day because unless she's in a good mood, she just gets irritated with the peppering of questions.
Fortunately we have similar tastes in music. Katy Perry for instance. I don't let her listen to a few of the songs obviously, but we jam to others. Lemonade Mouth, Selena Gomaz, and a few other Disney productions are in our rotation.
She once got in trouble for talking at school and has been the perfect angel ever since. I had her parent teacher conference the other day and her teacher remarked about how quiet and reserved she is. Then she told a story about how when they were playing a spelling game on the carpet, Little d finished her turn and then did a little dance and was singing 'I did it' or something of that nature. The teacher thought that was just the cutest thing. She got really great remarks and grades--no worries there.
I should close for now to attend to the littlest of the littles who needs a cuddle with mommy--he's leaning over the gate making hugging motions to me....
