Dear Kensley,
Wow! This has really been a growing up year for you! I feel like Kindergarten has aged you much faster than I would like. You LOVE school! You love everything about it...your friends and teacher, riding the bus, lunch, recess, learning to read, etc. Some weekends you have actually been disappointed that you don't have school!
You love learning to read and spell and are very determined to learn it all RIGHT NOW! We keep telling you that it takes practice, but you are so eager to do it all. You love to practice your school reading books for whoever will listen and you are constantly writing words you can spell in your notebooks. You are also loving learning to memorize your bible verses for Awana and constantly want to work on "just one more".
You are so social right now and love playing with your friends and being anywhere they are. Whenever we don't have something planned, you are usually bored and ask "what can I do?". You are also constantly asking to have "playdates"...which you think means that your friends actually come INTO our house to play.
You got an American Girl doll (Caroline) for your birthday and that's all we've heard about for months. You love playing with her, taking her places and dressing her. You love being outside playing, riding your bike and swimming. You also are really into crafts, coloring and drawing right now.
For the most part, you are a really good eater. Some of your favorite foods are: broccoli, pizza, mac and cheese, fried rice, apples, pancakes and any sweets. One of your favorite things about school is eating the school lunch. You love to plan out the week and decide which days you want to eat at school.
You are still my big helper and are always asking if you can help me with cleaning, folding laundry, etc. You crave one on one time! Fortunately you haven't been too jealous when your sisters and I do fun things while you are at school. You seem to think you have the better end of the deal being at Kindergarten. :) We've had a few attitude issues the past few months, but I think a lot of it is you asserting your Independence.
You continue to have the softest heart and your feelings tend to get hurt easily. You are always worried when someone else is sick or hurt. You have seemed to turn back into a Mama's girl lately and aren't a huge fan when I go out with friends or am gone in the evenings. You are still the best listener and our rule follower. You are always concerned about doing things the right way and you are super organized.
We are so thankful for your silly and sweet personality and your kind spirit. We are so proud of you and love watching you grow and learn new things.
Happy 6th Birthday, Kensley!
