Happy Birthday!! Only a few more years of you being sad that you're the last one of your friends to have a birthday. Soon you'll be thrilled that they will all be a year older than you! On your actual birthday you had gymnastics and brought a cookie cake and Gatorade for everyone. That night, we had Jeff over for shepherds pie (your choice) and leftover cookie cake. For your birthday party, you invited 3 friends (Caitlyn, Katie and Kalissa) to go do an escape room and then they came over for dinner and cake!
You are still very into gymnastics. Dad and I love to pick you up and hear what you worked on or what skill you got that day. Usually we have to google it because we have no clue what you're doing! You competed last fall in level 4, then after Christmas you did one level 5 meet to test out and then continued with level 6. You ended up being regional champ at level 6 for your age group so I'd say it was a pretty successful season! Next spring you will compete level 7.
You decided you are done with soccer. I am going to miss watching you play because you are just so darn quick! In Dubuque we only have one option for someone your age and that is travel soccer year round with two practices per week, so I understand why you wanted to quit. With gymnastics 4 nights a week for a total of 15 hours, it just doesn't leave much extra time for other things. You have started to get more interested in tennis which of course I love! I'm hopeful you'll play a day a week this fall/winter now that you're not playing soccer.
You are very excited for 6th grade! I am glad you'll be getting out of school earlier to have some extra time to relax before gym. You are definitely ready for a change from elementary and I can't wait to see how it goes. I hope you get involved in activities and make lots of new friends. We will find out this week what house you're in.
You are still tiny, but tough. You weigh around 65 pounds and I'm not sure of your height. You hurt your wrist earlier this summer and we had x-rays and the doctor said you have lots of growing ahead of you! You're starting to be interested in clothes and fashion, you love make-up and are begging us for a phone/instagram/snapchat, etc. You are ultra competitive and hate losing. You are a great eater, ice cream is definitely your favorite dessert, you are awesome with Ivy and have a strong bond with Max. Right now you say you want to be an interior designer and a gymnastics coach when you grow up. You would be awesome at both!
We sure love you My-my!!
