13th Birthday

 

Here's your annual update - 

Things you love:

1. TV/Movies-

You, like Dad, are a re-watcher You've re-watched Ted Lasso and Good Place and for your birthday,you got a list must see movies that you are looking forward to watching.

2. Music - 

You got a record player for Xmas, and I think you enjoy record shopping- which a few times with Dad. You were gift several Taylor Swift albums, and a John Mulaney album. You are still on the hunt for 1989. 

3. Piano-
You've been playing for 8 years, and it really shows. You and your teacher, Emmy, are in a good groove - and the pieces that you are playing are longer and more difficult.  You're playing 2 octaves scales and inversions. This is farther than I even got. We've noticed that you practice for longer and even spend time playing chords for familiar pop music by choice!

4. New this year- You joined the Nashville in Harmony- Youth Choir- Major/Minors. You really like the group of pepole and are very excited about summer trip to DC and NYC.

2021 Goals -  

1. Empathy -

I think this has gotten better or at least you've vocally expressed positive feelings towards and about others. Progress!  

2. School club -

So you join tried out and joined the track team. This was super surpising, but we are proud of your preservernce, being named team captain, and your team commitment. 

2022 Goal
1. Have fun with Mom-

We get into it - a lot more than I would like, but have had fun seeing touring brodway shows lately. Hoping we can fight less and have more fun!

2. Learn to shop-

You are a saver. I love a saver, but sometimes you need clothes and things. You are through puberty and officially adult sized - despite your objection, we wear the same size everything. Let's share! all of my stuff isnt horrible. 

Love you- 

Mom
