Happy Birthday to you! You have been asking how many days until your birthday since about June 15th so I'm excited for you that it's finally here! Here's a little rundown of what you're like at age 6:) You make your dad and I laugh more than anyone else. You think your jokes are super funny and in fact they are...because they're so ridiculous that we laugh so hard! You haven't really figured out when enough is enough though because you tell the same joke over and over until we don't laugh anymore! You also have quite the evil laugh going on these days. Ivy is even picking up on it and trying to emulate! Speaking of Ivy, you are still my #1 helper with her. You love it when she calls you her "other mama" and you play together so nicely most of the time. Ivy is picking up on the fact that you don't really like it when she messes up your things. The other day I thought Ivy was napping and I went into your room and found her playing with your barbies! You are a good sister to Max most of the time as well. You play the Wii with him and go downstairs with him when he doesn't want to go down there alone.
Your stats...you are 39 pounds of pure muscle and 41 inches tall. Your height is climbing in percentile from around 1% at age 5 to 2 1/2% at age 6! You're probably just going to be a short person...the doctor put you on the scale and said you'd probably be 5' tall as an adult. You're definitely growing, just at your own rate! You wear size 10 shoe, size 6 shirts and size 4 or 5 pants. You are quite the little fashionista. Somedays you come downstairs wearing an outfit that is so well put together. Then other days you have some outfits that make me wonder if you're color blind! You have also started making barbie clothes out of scrap fabric. Who knows...maybe there is hope that someone will follow in your Grandma Linda and Aunt Kathy's footsteps! You love to rollerblade, scooter, hula hoop, do one armed cart wheels, ride your bike, pull Ivy in the wagon, walk Chloe, do the monkey bars, and jump on the trampoline. You love to win and need some work with how to lose more graciously:)
You still fall out of bed a lot. We have convinced you to sleep in the middle of your bed and also we have swimming noodles under the fitted sheet on both sides of your bed and that has helped. You love your ice water before bed along with an s-n-a-c-k. You've started spelling out anything that you don't want Ivy hearing, but again she's picking up on it and now she just puts random letters together when she wants something. You love to look at your long hair in the mirror and to talk about how long it is. Thankfully it's starting to get thicker too. You can put your own ponytails, pigtails and braids in your hair. Your ears are ultra sensitive just like mine and the only earrings that don't cause problems are the expensive ones! Your poor daddy:)
You had a great year of Kindergarten. You are reading anything and everything and we're working on reading comprehension this summer. I hear you retelling lots of stories to your barbies when you're playing with them and I smile from ear to ear. You took lunch from home 95% of the school year, but every once in awhile I could get you to try something new. Your favorite foods/meals these days are noodles with olive oil and parmesan cheese, chicken nuggets, hamburgers (as long as there are pickles) pancakes, chocolate cake without frosting, blueberry muffins, eggs, tacos, toast with cinnamon/sugar, smoothies, and vanilla ice cream. Your favorite color is turquoise and you want to be a gymnast and a mom when you grow up. You tell me your best friend at home is Livi and in Canada is Avery.
You have a very sweet side that comes out every once in awhile. Yesterday I was putting your hair in a "high ponytail" which is your most common request and you told me you were glad I was your mom. I melted. I'm glad you're my daughter too My-my. Happy Birthday!
Love, Mommy

Happy 6th Birthday, Mya! Your mom has written a wonderful summary of you. You will really appreciate re-reading her blogs when you get older and can relive your childhood days through them. Keep up the great writing, Beth!
Love the post Beth -- sorry to miss Mya's b'day. We'll have a celebration soon! The two year old picture of her, curly hair coming down the slide has to be my favorite.
Happy Birthday Miss Mya Pat! Can't wait to see you in 6 days...not that we're counting or anything! :)
Happy Birthday Mya! You are such a neat little girl and I hope I get to see you soon!
