Half Dozen

It’s hard to believe Sydney is 6 years old!!

During this past year, she:

went to her first birthday party without parents! Such big stuff!!

and she’s so serious about things…When we were picking out wrapping/bags for the gift, I asked her which one she

wanted to get and her response was: I prefer that one…. Winking smile

IMG_3447

graduated from PRESCHOOL!

IMG_3473

Started kindergarten!!

Went to Disney for the first time

learned to READ – she can’t get enough of it

Lost first tooth on the bus on the way to school (kindergarten!)

and her second tooth not long after that!

Some funnies: 

she loves to do ‘Snoring with grandma” – she was telling us about it and said: we were hump chewing, she was humping, i was chewing

As she was sitting with papa – she points to his beard and says, “this is your beard, grappy has a beard!” scott covers his beard and says, ,grappy has this - it’s a mustache...to which syd replies: “oh!!!….gran has a mustache!”

She is just the sweetest thing sometimes…at bedtime, she’s been hugging me tight and says “i’m not gonna let you go until the sun goes down”

she told me the other day, took a nap today to get some extra power for the playground

she prefers to sleep with her mask on

She loves to dance and perform and just be crazy…the kid LOVES life (I want to learn to be more like her)

one day – when she was dancing….I asked her why she was being so crazy and she responds: i don’t know; it just comes out of my body, my body tells me to do it

crazy kid!!
