Katie's 6th Birthday Letter

Dear Katie,
6 years ago today one of the best people in the world was born.  How is it that time has gone by so quickly?  You are getting more grown up every day!  You are quickly catching up to Mommy and I don't like it!  I'm going to have to start leaning on your head to make you stop growing.  This year you have really come out of your shell at school.  Kindergarten has been a good year for you.  You have made a ton of new friends and seem to get along with everyone.  You are constantly talking about all of the people you are friends with at school and sometimes Daddy and I have a hard time keeping up.  You laugh and get annoyed with us, but explain who you're talking about again anyway.  Guess we'll have to make sure we keep an eye on you as you get older!  You have lost 3 teeth at this point and have 2 more that are loose.  The Tooth Fairy had better be saving her money.  Your reading is getting much better as the year goes on.  We've had to work with you some but just like when you were learning to walk and crawl, you would complain a ton and then get it done.  Your writing and spelling are doing well too.  If we could just convince you to take a minute and think before you write or spell you'd have it made!  Mrs Beadle says you just have too many ideas in your head and sometimes they get mixed up when they come out.  Swimming and soccer are going great.  You are in level 3 for swimming and play soccer with Helena on the Green Caterpillars.  You seem to like soccer a lot more this year and have even scored some goals.  Zamek Dance is going well, you started ballet this year and really seemed to like being able to dance with the older girls.  Katie you are still the responsible one and the one we can trust to tell us when something has happened.  That is unless you did something wrong, then we have to fight it out of you.  You are LOUD, funny, bossy, and love to hug and snuggle your stuffed animals.  You are 3 ft 11.25 inches tall and weigh 69.5 pounds.  I can't wait to see what the next year brings you!

Have an AWESOME birthday!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
