Anna-Kate, you are EIGHT!
You are ready to throw your booster seat away now that you're no longer required under Maine law to have it. You are ready!
You are a non stop talker and a non stop toucher of all things. You love friends of all ages, an audience and something to fiddle with. If we don't give you something positive to fiddle with, you will absolutely grab something you aren't supposed to have.
You love talking, play mobil, coloring with acrylic markers, kittens, talking, baking, crafting, white out, talking, picking flowers, snuggling, talking and talking.
You talk a big talk of not liking things, when in fact you will eat whatever is put in front of you. You will try anything and eat anything, even if it's gross. You also talk about how you don't really do work. In fact, you do help quite a bit once you decide. You especially love wiping everything (with LOTS of spray or soap).
You're a fan of swimming and riding your bike. You aren't a fan of fetching anything that dropped to the ground. You enjoy doing gymnastic shows with Audra. You are currently playing wiffle ball, but your hope in joining that was 0% sport and 100% make friends.
This will be remembered as the year you cut your own bangs, the year you rocked second grade and the year you read everything by Beverly Cleary, on repeat. The year you picked steak, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad and fried dough for your birthday meal.
We are celebrating another year of you and thankful for the constant entertainment and laughs you offer.
Love you, Anna-Kate!
Love, Mama
