Holy crap, things happen fast when your life is in the fast lane.
From the-How can she be so big-department, I just wanted to report several intersting occurances.
First, this week was Godzilla's birthday. It seems only yesterday that she earned that title becuase she had just learned to walk. Now she is in dance and knows her dance better than her older sister. How time does fly. She informed her mother that, "Five year olds do not take naps." Of course, she is almost intolerable each evening when she hasn't had a nap. But I am hoping to get her to stop sucking that thumb using the same logic.
My youngest, Tank, is dying to walk. She pulls up on everything. This is a disaster. I was hoping for at least two more months of her tanking around the house. She has earned the name Tank. She crawls like a Tank. She doesn't evade anything in her path, and if something is in her way she simply crawls over it until she either, passes it, or becomes high centered and cries to be released. Her favorite place in the house is the porch and if she is in eye shot of the porch she crawls over to the sliding glass door and tries to crawl through it. Again, she is Tank.
My olds, views all of this with a sort of detached amusement. Her birthday is coming and she is anticipating a great party. We sat together on the couch yesterday and I watched her read a book cover to cover. She's six! Junie B. Jones. Amazing. The other day we were going out to dinner and meeting some family at the restaraunt. As always I required her to bring something to do. She wanted to bring a book for herself and her cousin. I suggested the book for the car and something else for entertainment at dinner. I didn't want her cousing to say again to her, "Reading is boring." like she has som many times before. I don't want her love in reading to diminish at all!
I will insert some cool picts later on!
Oh, my Christmas DVD's are finally done and might actually make it in the mail this week. Only half a year late. Yikes!
