Happy 7th Birthday to you! You have grown and changed so much this past year and I am so proud of the young lady you are becoming! I have prayed so much the past few years about your anxiety and my prayers are slowly being answered. You are losing some of the fear that controls you in so many situations and are instead becoming a confident little girl. Here are some of the things I want to remember about you as you turn seven today:
-You continue to be tall and thin. You weigh about 53 pounds and wear size 6/7 clothes. You wear size 1 or 2 shoe.
-You are so loving and are very generous with your hugs and kisses. You have been known to give hugs to complete strangers and we have had to make a rule that you are only allowed to kiss people in our family.
-You are a great reader and are reading on Level 21 (2nd grade level). You have started reading easy chapter books and are doing a great job on your Accelerated Reader. Some of your favorite books are Owl Diaries, Frog and Toad, and Katie Woo.
-You are a very good student and make good grades. You sometimes say that you don't like school but I think some days you just get overwhelmed with the business of school. You have a lot of friends that you talk about all of the time like Tai, Grace, Reagan, Sara, and Jackson.
-You are still the pickiest eater in our family. Fruits and vegetables are just not your thing! I can occasionally get you to eat a few green beans, peas, and applesauce but other than those three things, you refuse to try most fruits and vegetables. You love manicotti, fettuccini alfredo, nachos, peanut butter and honey crackers, beans, and yogurt. I'm not going to give up on you! I truly believe that one day you will start to try (and like!) new and different foods!
-You learned how to ride your bike a couple of months ago and you love the freedom it has brought you! You love to ride around the neighborhood after school and see what friends you can find to visit.
-You played soccer for the first time this fall and LOVED it! It didn't ever bother you to get out in front of a lot of people and play. You never scored a goal but you always tried your best and you learned a lot over the season. You liked playing offense rather than defense because you got to kick the ball more often on offense.
-You love playing with your brother and sister but you also love to go to your room after a long day at school and play by yourself. You are perfectly content to play quietly with your little figures for hours at a time. You love your My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop figures the most.
-You also love to watch cartoons after a long day at school. Your favorites right now are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, PJ Masks, and Alvin and the Chipmunks.
-You are an early riser, even on the weekends. You never sleep until your alarm clock goes off on school days and it is rare that you sleep past 7am on Saturdays.
You are such a joy to parent and I'm so proud to call you mine! I know that this new year is going to have wonderful things in store for you and I can't wait to experience it with you! Thank you for being a ray of sunshine in my life each and every day! I love you to the moon and back- Mommy
