This girl is such a joy. She is so compassionate, sensitive, loves to please, loves Beatrice, roadtrips, and fairytales. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter daughter and big sister.
*She's seriously so grown up. She used the word "intruder" the other day in a properly formed sentence and I thought, wow....aren't you still like 3?!
*She has no front teeth. Her little mouth is so cute with her missing teeth right now and she knows it. I'll find her smiling and primping in the mirror before school. It has begun. :)
*When this girl wakes up she needs about 5 minutes to stretch and wake up and then she's singing! It's really a phenomenon. She performs full-on musicals every day, usually morning and night to songs she just randomly makes up. It sometimes comes in the form of your favorite Disney tune or a Christian song. The girl remembers lyrics and tunes like no other. I love that she always has a song on her heart.
*She's such a great big sister. I don't say this flippantly. She amazes me with her mothering skills at 6 (she really amazed me when Hollyn entered the world last year). She's responsible and she usually obeys. I feel like I can trust her already with watching Hollyn while I grab a quick shower or run to the car for something. I hope I never forget what it looks like to see her prop Hollyn on her hip and go. Her and Charli are a little different. Their relationship comes in waves....some days it's wonderful and others, well....trying. They love to play with the same things and some days....that's just hard. :)
*Her favorite song: Beyonce's Halo. There's a little story behind this. It's downloaded to an old phone we had. It was actually Jason's phone while we were delivering Ansley. He had put together a list of songs to listen to while I was in labor and that was one of them. It was one of my favorites at the time...she was my angel and I hadn't even met her yet. Now that we don't use that phone anymore.....Ansley has made it her own and she listens to it all the time because of the story behind it. She knows every word and every run that she does in that song. It's unbelievable to hear her sing it.
*Right now, she's playing soccer, gymnastics, and does dance. She stays busy!
*She's still got to have her after school nap!! She can go without one and some days she has to, but she could always use one.
*She's recently learned how to do a cartwheel (for the most part-she's still working on straightening one leg).
*She's reading and doing great!
*She LOVES her American girl dolls, Disney princesses, Barbies, and Palace Pets
*She currently is in love with her AG doll, Grace, but has Saige and Kit also.
*She loves sushi. Like loves it. She begs for it all the time!! Her favorite is crab and cream cheese and shrimp tempura roll.
*She whistles when she's excited...only she sucks air in instead of out. :)
*Hates to wash her hair. I should say....hates to brush it to.
*Loves to camp.
*Talks about Heaven and Jesus often. She always remembers Adler and often times wonders what he's doing in Heaven.
*She loves to pack for trips and enjoys making plans for our mini vacations. She usually doesn't leave the house without her purse and sunglasses. She also brings her wallet and money (from the tooth fairy) with her too.
*She's 48 inches tall and she's stout. She is strong!
*She's still a little clumsy at times, but I think she's getting used to her feet. ?? :)
*She loves to swim and is like a little fish. No fear. She holds her breath under water longer than I do.
