Lily started first grade, and is in school 5 full days a week for the first time. She is loving it, and making many new friends. It has been more of an adjustment for me though since last year I was able to spend each Monday afternoon and all day each Friday with her. My husband is not in her class at all since he is working with 4th graders this year, so he only gets to peak in once in awhile. We so enjoy her stories of the day and helping her with her homework (which she loves to do). She is a good friend to others and very compassionate. We were told that she stopped by the office after school to ask about a boy who had to be sent home. She was worried about how he was doing. She is liking school so much better this year than she did last year, which may partly be due to having a more routined schedule. Besides school, Lily is still in gymnastics and ballet. She loves to dance, run, and be outdoors as much as possible. She still loves horses as much as ever, and is bound and determined to ask Santa for a "real horse" again this year. She has lost 2 of her bottom middle front teeth, and was thrilled when the tooth fairy left money under her pillow. Lily loves Troy from High School Musical and tells others that he is her boyfriend. She wants to be a "wildcat" cheerleader for halloween, and her grandmother is busy working on her costume. She is also asking that her 7th birthday party have the HSM theme:) Well, that is the update for this little 6, almost 7 year old, as Lily likes everyone to know.
