Pre-K Reader

Maevy-ball,

Remember when I posted a few months ago about starting Pre-K, and how you had just read "Bark, George" to us. Well...cut to 2 months later and you are full fledged early reader now.

The day that your teacher told me that she wanted to pull you aside to work on reading, since you are ahead of the rest of class, I ran out to McKay's and bought you 15 Early/Pre-Readers. Books like Follow Me, Kit and Kat, I'm Not a Dinosaur, and Dick and Jane stories. Most of the books are easy concepts, short sentences, and lots of repetition...you know early readers! Grandma bought you the collection of Dick and Jane books and you've already read more than 1/2 the book. That's almost 60 pages!

Our new nightly routine involves Mommy or Daddy reading 3 or 4 books and you reading 1 or 2 books. It's pretty awesome, and you're doing great! Keep up the good work!

Love you lots,

Mommy

Flower Girl

Maevy-girl-

You are growing into one pretty adorable, sweet, smart, and thoughtful little girl. A couple weeks ago you were a wonderful flower girl at Aunt Robyn and Uncle Jake's wedding.

You did great during pictures, walking down the aisle, during mass, and even post-wedding at the reception.

Some our favorite moments of the night/weekend-
-  You explaining to everyone that you a read a book about flower girls, and you really should be tossing flowers down the aisle.
- Not even a minute after Robyn and Jake walked out the church (post-wedding), you asked them when they are going to have a baby.
- Post-wedding, you kept asking everyone if they were coming to your party!
- At the reception, you danced by yourself on the dance floor for a good 5 or 6 songs. Mommy and Daddy tried dancing with you, but you would shoo us away.
- You photo-bombed reception photos with Aunt Robyn multiple times.
- The fact that is was Robyn's wedding night didn't matter to you. She's still your Aunt Robyn and you wanted access to her at all times. The second we got to the reception, you wanted to know exactly where she was. 
- When M picked you up later that night, you told her that there was only wine to drink at the reception.
- M was so nutty that she let you stay even later when you got home to watch a show. You were so tired that you asked M when it was okay for you to go upstairs.

We couldn't have asked for a better flower girl. Save the dress Maev...Aunt Lesley is engaged now!

Love you,

Mommy
