Carly - age 6!

Carly had her 6 year well check up last week. This prompted me to create her blog post about what I want to remember about her these past few months.

• has learned to read and really enjoys reading
• finally hit 40 pounds!!! (41 pounds now to be exact)
• enjoys writing stories and poems - note to self to scan one of her poems to post
• loves to hear and tell jokes
• tries to make up jokes - unfortunately they don't make any sense
• has recruited me two babysitters - Carly somehow gets her student teachers to give her their phone number before they leave school.
• loves to swing
• loves to play outside and go to the park
• loves to dance
• loves to sing
• likes to cook - especially if it is a dessert
• performed in her first play (Alice in Wonderland) and loved it
• will be the star in her kindergarten graduation play - The title of the play is "The Cow who didn't Moo". Carly is playing the cow.
• loves to do art projects
• doesn't mind being sick because she enjoys missing a day from school
• still loves to eat crossants
• only drinks water with the occasional small glass of milk or lemonade
• has a new love for corn on the cob...luckily she still has her two front teeth

• loves the Pink song "Raise Your Glass"... why does she know this song at the age of 6??? because I'm the World's Greatest Mom.

• still can throw a really good fit
• sings and tells herself stories for sometimes an hour before falling asleep

• knows her way around the computer
• favorite restaurants: Cici's (all you can eat pizza buffet) and Zaxby's (loves the bread)
