My Olivia Grace.
- The girl I can always count on. She's always there to help or lend a hand. I'm so impressed with how self sufficient she is. She's truly the best big sister and leader of her two littles. Her teacher also can count on her to be a good listener and always following the rules.
- She's a "dream student" and her teacher can't say enough about how wonderful she is to have in class. She's advanced in her reading and is reading at an end of first grade year level. We are so impressed. Her writing skills are also advanced. She enjoys writing her own books at home. She's even a pretty good speller!
- She's doing Ballet/tap, swimming and gymnastics right now. She loves them all but seems to enjoy gymnastics the most. She did soccer for the first time last fall and LOVED it! She was a little shy at first but once she got the hang of the rules and how to play she was a speed demon! She's fast when she wants to be! She even scored 1-3 goals every week! It was sweet because when she started the season thinking you had to "take turns" with the ball and felt like she shouldn't "steal" the ball from anyone. So once she figured out it was ok to take the ball away from the other team, she did much better and got "in the fray" a bit more!
- She's still a goof. She's got a goofy personality and LOVES to giggle and laugh.
- She's becoming less shy out in public which is great. She's still shy, just not as much as she used to be. She will now order her own food at restaurants and with my help, she'll talk to people when we are out and about. She's also getting much better about joining in with other kids that she maybe doesn't know well and playing with them/make new friends.
- She's still a fabulous sleeper. My rockstar sleeper.
- She plays so well with Co. They truly are best friends. They crack me up because they will play perfectly for a while and then most of the time someone is telling on the other at some point. When they fight it gets much louder and more "attitudy". I'm scared for their teenage years. Should be interesting! They love hard and fight hard! For the most part though, they get along great, enjoy playing the same things and crack each other up. Liv also does a good job of teaching co new things and how she should act and co seems to listen and take it all in pretty well.
- She still loves her cardigans. She's worn a cardigan every day since she was three. I don't know how or why but she doesn't like having exposed arms. She likes being cozy I guess. The second she gets home from school or anywhere she runs right upstairs and changes into her "home dress" and cardigan.
- She still loves to sing and dance and put on shows for us. She's also more of my adventurous girl. She's much more likely to try new things (accept food. Coco is my "tryer" when it comes to new foods).
- She LOVES Granty and helps me keep him entertained. She is so sweet and helpful with him.
- She's definitely finding her "voice" more and showing her opinions. She can be quite a teenager sometimes when she storms off stomping and going to her room when she's mad.
- She lost two teeth so far (bottom middle)
She's a dream. We couldn't love her more.
