Spring Break 2020 - Seagrove

Despite the tornado, and the start of the Covid-19 pandemic we headed to Seagrove for our spring break. By the end of the week, both the beach and pool was closed - due to the virus. 

The weather was great, and I guess it was a good way to start isolation/quarantining. We even stayed longer. School closed for a month, and there was nothing to go back to.

I loved that balcony :)

11th Birthday

 

Here's your annual update - 

Things you love:

1. TV-

You get the love of a good binge from me, but your love of all things TV from your Dad. You claimed that you had watched all content on Netflix. Yikes! Your favorite thing to watch is The Good Place with your Dad.

2. Music - 

Most weekends are spent with us listening to your curated playlist on Amazon music. With TV and music, your ability to learn lyrics is amazing (at least to me). You and Dad can have complete conversations with just quot\es back and forth. It's annoying, but sweet. 

3. Plays, Musicals - Yes - still love this. Last thing we saw was Hamilton in Nashville!

4. New this year - Math -
You were on the Head Math team last year even though you couldn't compete, and then were placed in 6th grade math at the beginning of the semester. I love that you are leaning into your talents!

Goals -  We are trying to instill a better, helping attitude - so I'm leaving a few - 

1. Chores- Helping when asked, the first time. :)

2. Responsibility - 
You are still forgetful with daily hygiene - like brushing your teeth. I would love to see some improvement. 

3. Food - 
Over time it's gotten a little worse. I would love for your diet to expand - and the complaints of food not tasting good because it has "flavor or seasoning" to stop. 

Age 11 - will certainly bring some challenges for all of us, but hoping for the best and so glad you have both myself and Daddy to rely on. 

Love you- 

Mommy

East Nashville Tornado

East Nashville was hit hard by a tornado last night.

Our house was fine, but we did our best to help the community by providing food and offering our house for childcare. It was devastating for so many, but it was great to see the East Nashville community show up and help!!
