What a sweet, silly, confident, and kind little girl Anna is! For this blog post, we thought we would give Anna the chance to put things in her own words, so I asked for her response to these questions:
Favorite book: The Wizard of Oz
Favorite color: Pink
Favorite food: Spaghetti carbanora
What Anna wants to be when she grows up: Artist
What she is most looking forward to in kindergarten: Her teacher playing guitar
What she most likes to play with her brother: Family
Favorite song to dance to: Uptown Funk
Favorite movie: Muppets' Christmas Carol
Favorite sport: Field hockey
Anna continues to be a voracious reader, who occasionally needs reminding put down her book to go run around outside. When she does venture outside she's a quick leader on the playground, coordinating pretend games such as "Family," "Ice Cream Stand," "Garbage Dump," and the latest, "Cat Lady." (Which contrary to my initial expectations is simply pretending to be ladies with cat powers, not a old women with many cats.) She seems drawn toward performance and music. You'll see pictures from her dance recital in this month's pictures, and we were lucky enough to have Grandpa and Grandma Barb in town for that performance. Anna is excited to continue dancing and start ukelele lessons in the fall.
Here are some casual performances at dance camp this summer:
Anna is so excited to begin kindergarten next week, and truth be told we could all use a return to a routine schedule! There's a gap this year between Karen's return to work and the kids' return to school, so we were lucky enough to get a visit from Pop-Pop on Anna's birthday today, who will watch the kids for a week. Anna's requested spaghetti carbonara, tomato salad, and a chocolate cake with chocolate icing for her birthday dinner.
Anna's thrilled that Colin will be joining her at Sacred Heart this year, and revels in explaining all the routines and procedures of her old classroom. He seems very excited to join the community and got the chance to meet some classmates early. He's working on his reading to be more like his big sister, and he's gotten pretty good at sounding out 3 and 4 letter words. He is in love with all things baseball, and he roots proudly for the Giants. Here he is giving his sister her birthday present:
