All Bean

we talked about the sprout, why not the bean? ;) how is she doing? well.....

she is obsessed with temporary tattoos....
and making goofy faces for the camera. ;)

writing. she loves to write. she is getting better at making her letters every day. i don't make her practice she just is always asking, "how do you spell...." and i tell her. then she calls me in to see what she has written on her easel. i'm really impressed at how much she has improved in the last month.

reading. she is acting interested in learning how. i think a lot of this comes from the fact that her cousin has recently learned to read. i have found a system that is similar to what they teach in the schools around here and we are preparing to start. the lessons start out very simple so they aren't going to overwhelm her. (of course if she wants to quit we will. this is for her, NOT for me.)

school. she still loves it. she wishes she could go everyday. this week her teacher told me that she has been a very good friend lately. i like the sound of that.
we have parent teacher conferences on monday.
they sent next year's registration forms home this week. should she go three or four days a week????

loving. that is what she is. she loves her brother. she loves her mother. sometimes she doesn't want to share him with me. sometimes she doesn't want to share me with him. throw a daddy in there and it is a terrible predicament for a little girl. she doesn't always remember that there is always enough love to go around. :)
she is a sweet girl that gets a little over emotional sometimes. she gets a little bossy sometimes. and every once in a while she lands herself in timeout. (which she claims that she got rid of so i can't put her there anymore! hmmmm.)
