12th Birthday Party

Per your request - Zoe, Ainsley, and Lucie Jane + Dad went to the Escape Room. Then you guys just came back to the house to hang out. :) Suer easy and drama free birtyhday - yay!

12th Birthday

 

Here's your annual update - 

Things you love:

1. TV-

You and Dad are having lots of fun with series and he's even starting introducing to more mature content - like Fargo and Old School. You love it.

2. Music - 

Love AJR and still love musical albums - like from Waitress

3. New this year - Independence/Alone time -
Even though the pandemic has been hard on everyone for different reasons - I think you've actually enjoyed your alone time and doing things independently. On the good side - I think you have high self esteem and confidence - on the not great side - you dont love family and even friends messing with your routine, your room, etc. So maybe we need to work on - agility!

2020 Goals -  

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

- You are doing your own laundry now, and you are pretty good at cleaning your room and making your bed!

2. Responsibility - 
- Yes you've made a chart and check it off everyday with everything you need to before school.  

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. 

- Eh, it's still okay. You love sweets.

2021 Goal
1. Empathy - We really want to do empathy coaching to help you better develop this skill with your family. 

2. School club - Hopefully 7th grade will provide an opportunity to be more involved at school and I hope you choose to be!

Love you- 

Mom
