Since the last time we wrote, baby girl has turned into big girl. At 8 years old, she is growing up extremely fast and it has me all in my feelings. I am so grateful she gets the chance to grow up and I am loving watching her so much. So what has this big girl been up to? Sooooo much!
Big girl is rocking out at this big sister routine. She understands the assignment heavily and is mostly enjoying the experience. That's not to say she doesn't have her moments, that would be dishonest to state. However, she continues to want to be the best big sister to whomever is in our household.
Another big change for her this year is the fact that she's chosen to attend a brick school vs continuing to homeschool. We've been a homeschooling family for the last 3 years of her education, and while it's been amazing, she wanted to try something else this year. She is adjusting and we are learning a whole new side to the school world!
She is also still rocking out the gymnastics life! She continues to excel here in ways we both knew she would and that are completely unexpected. We cannot believe how amazing she is doing. She's continuing to move up every year and as long as she's happy, we are happy to see her continue!
What other interests does she have? She's taken to reading graphic novels as her choice of entertainment. This has been fun to explore with her and she continues to read everything she can! We are so excited seeing her jump into reading after a bit of a rocky start.
She also loves Pokemon. It is very interesting seeing my kiddos get into something that I remember from my childhood. Of course she doesn't believe that I knew what Pokemon was at her age! She can't think that her beloved card game is THAT old.
She is also reminding us daily that she is full of sugar, spice, and sass. It's a challenge at times, but we absolutely wouldn't have it any other way! Each one of those traits is a leadership requirement and we absolutely want her to be a leader!
What else is there to talk about with the kiddo! A lot of our parenting is learning with each new stage she's in! We are exhausted and fulfilled at the same time.
