And Now I Am 6

I am now 6 years old. Things change when you are 6. You eat more, you talk more, you know more, you are bigger, stronger, and faster, you loose more teeth, you comb your own hair, you can shower yourself, you help your little sister more, and you can read! Oh yes, I can now snap my fingers...to go with my whistling.

Weight: 43 lbs (gained 5 lbs this year)

Height: 47 inches (grew 3 inches)

Teeth lost: 2

Friends: I have many friends with my favorite being Audrey. We both have red hair and are both full of more energy than anyone we know.

Favorite Books: Geronimo Stilton, Rainbow Fairies, and any other books I can get my hands on. I LOVE READING!

Favorite Clothes: skirts and dresses

Favorite Color: any "girl" color

Christmas 2010

This Christmas I was totally was wired. I had Christmas festivities coming out of my pours. From Cookies with Santa, Christmas parties, a fantastic concert put on my school, ringette tournament, skiing, and of course the best part...the presents. By Christmas Day I was completely out of control and losing my mind. What I really wanted to ask Santa for Christmas was an iPhone. Apparently that is not "age appropriate" and I was to lower my standards. Well, a DS and DS game I settled on. Of course, now it is used as leverage for getting me to do things. i.e. I must practice piano before I can play my DS. I must not pee in my pants while using the DS or there will be no DS for days...

Anyway, I will let the pictures tell the rest....
