Mya is 8!

Dear Mya,

Happy Birthday to you! You are 8 years old today! You had your birthday party with your GPN friends on Saturday and today after gymnastics practice, we went  to the indoor playground "All Stars" with your neighbor friends Avery, Anna and Cali. Tonight for dinner we had your favorite tacos and you had chocolate birthday cake too:)

If I had to use one adjective to describe you these days, it would be determined. You will never back down from a challenge and will work at something as long as it takes until you get it right. Your interests change really quickly...you were super into soccer, then you switched to basketball and now you're back at doing gymnastics every chance possible and even watching you tube videos of other gymnasts in your spare time. You are training quite a bit this summer (10 1/2 hours per week). You don't really want to go, but once you're there, it seems like you enjoy it and are learning lots.

You are a hair twirler, knuckle cracker, and a teeth grinder. You are unofficially 45 inches, 47 pounds, and size 12/12.5 feet. You have lost 7 teeth, wear size 7/8 shirts, 5/6 pants and dresses, favorite show is Victorious, favorite drink is ginger ale. You love tacos, waffles, pasta, party chicken, and eating immediately before bed after your have already brushed your teeth. Speaking of bed...you have a very specific routine...you sleep with your red polka dot Christmas blanket to cuddle, pink fleece blanket to cover with, stuffed turtle next to you, fan on, water with ice next to the bed, and cold wash cloths close by in case your feet get hot! You are a total staller...maybe the best one ever. Eventually, dad and I just have to walk out of your room while you're mid-sentence sometimes! You give the best hugs and are a big cuddler...especially with your daddy!

You have tons of friends. Seems like people are drawn to you. Your best bud from 2nd grade Brianna, is moving to Vancouver this fall, so that will be hard. You love playing with the neighbor kids, riding your bike, scooter, rollerblading, shooting baskets, jumping on the trampoline, watching Netflix, playing American Girl dolls with Ivy, doing crafts, organizing your room, and baking!  You loved school and did very well. I can't wait to see what 3rd grade is like for you!

Love you tons Miss Mya Pat!

Mommy
