Holy Cow Lady!! When did you become 5!!?? I think I probably say that every time I do an update but this is crazy!! I will tell you that the year of 4 was SOOOO much better than the year of 3. Don't get me wrong, you still had tantrums, melt downs, etc, but age 3 was insane with all of those things! I feel like 4 slowly got better and better!
You and Jett Campbell hanging out at the Iola-Wellsville basketball game! :)
Eliana this past year you grew and learned SOO much! Let's start with how much you've grown, literally!! All of a sudden your 4T shirts and pants were all too short!! WHAT!? Back in December it was time to upgrade to 5T clothing - and it was crazy! You are so tall and skinny!! Luckily 5T clothes fit you well!
You are finally a better sleeper! Most nights you sleep through the night - it's still not every day - but you're doing much better! You go to sleep around 8:30-9:00 and wake up around 6:45-7:30 --- you would sleep in more, but you have to get up for school! :)
Learning - MAN! You started going to Munchkin Land with Mrs. Megan. You absolutely LOVE Mrs. Megan - and you LOVE learning so much! You got your progress report back from Mrs. Megan and you know almost everything you need to know for kindergarten!! :)
You are such a caring big sister! Most of the time. Sometimes the two of you fight, just like brothers and sisters do!! Some days you fight more than you get along....but overall you guys get along. You truly do love your brother and care for him. If Easton is sad or hurt you are the first one to love and jump up to help him.
Eliana, you are such a girly girl! You love getting your hair curled, doing your make up, getting your nails painted, and dressing up. You love shopping, dresses, new shoes, and anything sparkly!
Here are some new nails that you got from Mrs. Megan for learning your birthday, address, and phone number!!!! :D You also have learned how to write your name Eliana Higginbotham. More often than not you forget one letter or switch two in Higginbotham - but I think that's pretty good for not even being in kindergarten yet!! :)
Eliana, you are such a unique little girl! You love and you're so kind - but yet at the same time you're still trying to figure everything out. You are a leader - but yet you're a follower at the same time. You feed off of what the rest of the kids do. If they make you the leader, you lead - but when a kid is acting up or being mean you tag along with them. We have really been working on the fact that you can have more than one friend, and that if someone is being not nice you can still be nice and include others. You had your first playdate here at our house with a friend that isn't a family friend and I have to say I was not impressed. Example, your friend whispered to you to tell me that I'm a mean mommy. Luckily you knew better than to say that to me - but it made me really disappointed that at 5 you're already with friends like that. :(
But, we will continue to work with you and you will continue to amaze and impress us daily!! My prayer for you for the next year is that you stay true to yourself - and that you continue to love learning and love your family! My prayer for what's going on around you is that you have a kind, understanding, hard working kindergarten teacher. I know you're not always easy, and I know with you coming in with all the knowledge you have you're going to need to stay focused and "entertained" so you don't cause problems. I also pray for the kids you'll encounter and the friends that you'll make. I pray that you find Christian friends and that you get along with your classmates. Sending you out to school is so scary for me and I am already praying for you and those you'll encounter.
I love you sweet girl! Happy Birthday my sweet FIVE year old - I hope it's a fabulous year yet!! :)
Mommy
