Your birthday fell on a Tuesday this year; so we brought strawberry yogurt pops to school as a special treat, and you got to pick what you had for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Breakfast: Strawberry Frosted Mini Wheat & Honey Chex mix
Lunch: Strawberries, Yogurt, Waffle with syrup dip, and raisins
Dinner: Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Craisins, Raisins, Applesauce, and Goldfish
Dessert: Birthday cupcake (You only ate the frosting.)
Your brother thanks you for the meal. He also loves all those things.
Some other fun facts: (in no particular order)
Things you love:
1. TV & Movies - If you could, you would probably want to watch some variation of a show for the most of the day. This never happens, but you especially love a sick day when you go to work with Mom/Dad which usually means you get to watch a few shows. Thanks to Disney you are also very good at picking who is going to marry who. Just last weekend, we rented Enchanted. You have the reader book Enchanted, and told me at the very beginning who was going to marry who. Then said, "You know how I knew that? I read the book!"
2. Singing & Dancing - You and everyone else in the world is currently obsessed with the music from Disney's Frozen. You've seen the movie twice and we watch or listen to Let It Go or Do you Want to Build a Snowman almost daily. You've also started putting on some performances where you make up songs and dances, which usually require some audience participation. My favorite is when you are reading a book and then decide halfway to sing all the words.
3. Plays, Musicals, Museums - This past year, you saw a lot of shows. You are so attentive and ask great questions. You understand act progression and even notice musical montages. This last year you saw- Peter Pan, Pinkalicous, Oklahoma, Go Dog Go, Alice and Wonderland, Into the Woods, School House Rocks, The Wizard of Oz, Lily and the Purple Plastic Purse, Oddly Puddle is from Outer Space, and multiple puppet shows, including Cinderella and Many Moons.
4. Star Wars - I'll let Daddy comment on this one. I've learned more about Star Wars this past year than I ever knew before.
Things you are good at:
1. Reading - I've mentioned it several times before, but you are a great reader. You aren't really interested in chapter books yet, but you have mastered the Level 2 readers. A common conversation:
Maevy: "Mom, did you know that I can read this whole book?"
Me: "No, way!"
Maevy: "What are you going to do when I read the whole book?:
Me: "I'll say- Shut the front the door!"
You then read the whole book. Announce how many pages it has, and then I say, "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!" You laugh hysterically.
2. Puzzles & Games- Last Sunday, as a family (without Carter) we tackled our first 100 piece puzzle. Daddy did a lot of it, but whenever I gave you a task to find a certain piece, you usually found it in 5 seconds. Our favorite games to play right now are Uno, Sequence, and Scrabble. You a good sport, but are also good at strategizing. You love "blocking" people in Sequence and "skipping" people in Uno.
3. Writing - Your penmanship has really improved this last year, and we love all the notes we get from you that include "I love you!".
4. Climbing - You love climbing trees and mastered the monkey bars months ago, way before some your boy classmates.
Things you don't like-
1. Corn, beans, avaocado, and grapes
2. Getting your hair brushed
3. Running errands
4. And sometimes going to Sunday school - last weekend, you asked if we could quit church. Sorry, I said no.
Maevy-girl, you are growing into one sweet, smart, and caring little girl. As a fellow oldest child, I'll always foster and support your creative interests, desire to be in charge, love of all things silly. Looking forward to another momentous year and learning lots more from you.
Love always,
Mommy
