Sydney's First Birthday Party!

Dear Sydney,

It's here! Your first ever friend birthday party. We did a lot to celebrate. We had a Lego Robotics Party from 1 - 2 , then we did a pinata and Halloween Bingo, then we did a Nerf Obstacle Course.

The party went from 1 - 330. We sang happy birthday and you were SO excited to be the one they sung to. You got SO many presents and you loved it. 

This year you have really blossomed. You love reading and math. You have stepped out and tried new things - like the school play, activity days and having new friends.  You are much more independent and still love to earn money. 

You love school and love Miss. Ruchiti. She is young and loves your energy. She says you love to lead in class and have so much energy. 

You love to still play outside. You rather play than watch TV. You love to play in leaves and make-believe things with your LOL dolls.

You have been reading chapter books and love the Dork Diaries and pretty much any graphic novel for kids. You do great at Math and Reading at school - although sometimes you get impatient. 

You have really enjoyed activity days and just being included in more grown up things. You lost your front tooth and you were so excited for the tooth fairy. 

I love you Sydney. You really are the easier child - you love to help me, you worry when I don't feel well, you are a natural peace maker in the family. I am so grateful that you love your little sister. You include her and you love to make up great games. 

I love how you hum to yourself when you are playing. The way you laugh SO hard while watching funny shows or funny cats. You still ask me to snuggle with you and you come into our bed on Saturday mornings. I love you so much. Thank you for being our sweet Sydney.
