Anna these days....
*Goes to bed around 7:30/8 and wakes at 6:30/7. After a busy day or school or activities it's hard for her to keep emotions in check and can fall apart with her emotions easily. Falls asleep fast once in her bed. Sleeps heavy and like a log.
*Has had a series of bad dreams since Halloween time. She shows up in our bed and most of the time wont share her dreams. Thankfully this hasn't happened since Christmas.
*Loves to dance; so animated in her dance
*Loves art; super creative with art
*Makes a big dramatic deal out of things in a positive way; "I cant believe it! I have been waiting my entire life for this."
*Starting to act more like a mom to her sisters (and it drives Ashley crazy). She feels like she has to share all her Kindergarten wisdom and can come across as a sassy little know it all even though she really has good intentions and is usually not intending to be sassy.
*Such a patient and kind sister, daughter and friend.
*LOVES anything to do with family and friends; a social little thing.
*Beginning to show a natural appreciation towards others (saying thank you is natural)
*Is a back seat driver... "Mommy it says 45. Why are you 48?"
*Worries about things that she should leave to mom/dad but I think she's doing it in an attempt to be older.
*Goofy sense of humor and not afraid to show it off.
*Reading to herself and out loud really well. Becoming more and more comfortable with sounding out words using phonics and sounds. Can read Beginner and Level One books mostly on her own. Her teacher says she is reading at the first grade level and wants to continue to work with Anna on sounding out larger words using smaller ones. This has led to some frustration at home but we are turning that corner!!
*Eats like a bird. Loves fruits, milk, pepper cheese and veggies. Eats mostly what mommy and daddy eat for dinner and lunch. She is a good eater but just doesn't eat much in quantity.
*Absolutely in LOVE with her brother Peanut. She gets in trouble often for "loving him too much" because we are afraid Peanut will bite her as he growls to tell her to stop.
*Such a good helper
*Amazing Memory
*Practicing the Kindergarten sass more and more each day, Gotta love that she gives us a fight but WOW somedays it's a little too much :) And this is only the beginning :)
Love you Anna Banana!
