Camryn is doing so well in Kindergarten. She is passing every reading and math test and has learned about 40 sight words so far. She is reading beginner books and is in the more advanced math class at school. I am so proud of her academic progress, among other areas.
She is improving socially as well. Her teachers tell me she is conversing and interacting with her peers more often and initiating conversations and play. I also was able to get her into a social skills group during school every week. This is such a relief to me, as social skills are our main concern right now. She is such a happy child, and always has been. I know that social skills will come easy for her once she learns the basics.
She is still loving gymnastics and dance, and has been attending Church as much as she can. She is a busy girl and never seems to tire out! I wish I had half of her energy! :) She lost her first tooth last night, and was so excited about the tooth fairy coming! She actually woke up crying this morning because she couldn't find the pouch we hid under her pillow, but it had accidentally fallen in the floor. Ha Ha! I got it for her and she opened it to find $5 from the tooth fairy. Her tears quickly stopped and she smiled ear to ear! Her toothless grin is so cute!
Moving on to our drama queen....Yes, you heard me. Emilie Cate is getting so big as well! She is full of emotion, I can tell you that. Don't get me wrong, we love her with all of our hearts. But as others have told me "It's always the second child..." HA HA!! Seriously though, she is such a sweetheart and is learning all kinds of new things!
She is now doing a little "army crawl" and occasionally pushes up onto her hands and knees, only to come back down on her belly. She is getting pretty fast at her army crawl now, and wiggles across the floor to get what she wants. And things she doesn't need, like every tiny piece of fuzz or crumb that's barely visible to the human eye. Ha! She is getting into everything! We are having to baby proof so much more with Emilie because everything goes straight to her mouth, whereas Camryn never put anything into her mouth as a baby. She is definitely keeping us busy! She can now pick up speed in her walker to a run and will lift her feet to glide across the floor, ha ha! She is a mess.
She has started progressing in her language skills. She can say "Ma-Ma" for me, "Da-Da" for Evan, and "Ba-Ba" for her bottle. She learned to wave bye-bye and I swear I heard her say it when she waved the other day! She is full of smiles and tears. They can alternate within seconds. :) She knows what she wants, and lets you know when and how she wants it. She has a pretty good temper on her too! I'd say she gets it from her father, while my mom says she gets it from me. Ha! Right.... ;)
This whole blogging thing is fairly new to me, so I haven't posted regularly like I would like to eventually. I'm still learning all of the basics and mainly just trying to find the time to post, so please bear with me! I will try to do a post on Halloween soon. :) Thanks for reading! God Bless!
