Anna - 6 1/2
Anna still loves to read! Her favorite series right now are “My America”, diaries of girls between the ages 8 and 15 during important times in American History and “American Girl” books. Someday Anna wants to be a famous artist – projects and crafts are things she loves to do. Last summer Anna swam on a city swim team and really enjoyed it. Breaststroke is her best stroke right now, but she is taking swim lessons twice a week to work on her front and back crawl. Maybe she’ll be ready for the individual medley by summer ;) In December Anna will be joining some of her good friends as a Girl Scout – she is pretty excited! Reading isn’t Anna’s only passion, she also likes math. In the car when she had me quizzing her on math facts I ask her what 4 plus 8 is….she said, the same as 4 times 3…..yes – just not the answer I expected! I love watching the way her mind works!
Ally 3 1/2
Ally is our little daredevil! Last week she climbed up on top of the popup (about 4 feet high), ran across the top of it and jumped off! When she landed she just giggled. YIKES! Ally loves books, babies and Barbies. She also LOVES to play dress-up - she has been known to change outfits 5 times in 10 minutes! Ally’s teachers say they love her because she just talks and talks to them…..I think, she just may think she is one of them! She is also happy to eat most anything! She loves ALL veggies – spinach, broccoli, you name it! She also loves to eat fish – her favorites are salmon and tilapia…that is normal for a 3 year old, right?? Ally is also taking swim lessons twice a week – she is quite the fish. Her class is also working on the back crawl as well correct breathing.
Okay – I’m exhausted just from writing this!!
