Here are a few things that we treasure about our 9 year old:
-She's been taking piano lessons for a year now and is doing such a great job! We're so proud of her hard work and I think she's got some natural talent mixed in there!
-She still loves to sing and has a beautiful voice. Abby likes to make up songs and sing all the time and it reminds me of Emily when she was her age.
-She's a great student. She made straight A's this year and did a great job in her first year of the Challenge program at Paris (gifted program). I really don't have to work with her too much on homework or even studying for tests. I usually call her test material out a time or two but she mostly has it before we even start.
-She loves hanging out with her friends. I think she would say Samantha and Bella are her best friends.
-She loves to listen to adult conversations and doesn't miss much of what is being talked about. This can be challenging sometimes for Bert and me depending on the nature of the conversation, but I can remember doing the same thing.
-She loves to help cook and has helped our friend Denise make cupcakes a few times this year. Denise said she's getting to be a great little baker.
-She loves to ride her bike, dance, sing, swim and play with her sisters.
-So many adults tell us how much they enjoy talking to her. She's very mature for her age and can carry on a conversation with an adult easily.
-This was her 5th year taking dance and we're thinking she'll try some sports next year instead of doing dance again.
-She shares a room with Hannah and sleeps on the top bunk.
-She's a great big sister and helps us keep an eye on her sisters often
-She got braces last November and it makes her look older.
-She joined the swim team this year and has done such a great job learning her strokes. We're so proud of what a great swimmer she has become this summer. (Editor's note: We did this blog post a couple months after her birthday!! That's life with 4 young daughters!)
