It feels wrong to call this a birthday letter this year, as it is already May. But this is your 6 year old letter, so you weren't dismissed :). This past year you have taken on a new role in our family and have done it so well! That is the role of the BIG big sister. You lovingly dote on both of your sisters and look forward to spending time with them. It is wonderful to see how you are such good friends with both of them and how much they look up to you. You help me out so much around the house and have learned to do several chores on your own, including vacuuming, sweeping, washing dishes, taking out the trash, unloading the dishwasher and laundry (sorting, folding and putting away).
You have also grown so much in your academic realm! You went into kindergarten knowing all of your letters and their sounds, writing your name, reading a few sight words, and doing some basic addition. I am amazed at how far you have come! You are reading some second grade books and understand what they're talking about. You love doing math and are very good at it! You love every subject at school and have a very difficult time choosing a favorite. However, art is always the first thing you tell me about when you get home! I'm really hoping that your new school in San Angelo with have a real art program so that you can learn more fun things there!
This year you played a season of soccer again and did so much better than a couple years ago. You were very eager to play this time and made your best efforts to get the ball in the goal. You also tried your hand at gymnastics. You really enjoyed doing that. However, as we already were aware, you are not naturally very athletic. So it will take some extra practice on your part. However, you are wonderful at swimming! You completed your first round of swim lessons already this year and were so excited to learn new things! Luckily we will have a pool at our new home and you will get lots of time to practice and have fun with this skill :).
Lydia, you are such a kind, loving individual. I am so impressed with you consistently! You love the scriptures and the Lord. You try so hard to make good choices and to help those around you. I am so proud to be your mother!
Love always,
Momma
