Anne... I can't believe Anne is going to be six years old next month! She is growing up so fast. She just finished kindergarten in May and had a great year. I was very worried about sending her to kindergarten last year since she has such a late birthday but she has done so well. Her teacher said she is more than ready to move on to first grade and Anne is looking forward to it. She made some really great little friends this year and did very well academically too. It all went by so fast! She is really enjoying her summer though. She has mastered swimming as of last week and loves to be in the pool. Just a few weeks ago, she didn't even want to put her head in the water. Now she impresses us with her cannonballs and handstands. She was so proud of herself and we are too! We spend much of our time in the water now. She also still does gymnastics and is doing really well with that. It amazes me how much she has learned and how brave she can be in the gym. Sometimes I have to look away while she is learning a new move. It's too scary for a mom to watch! She also did her first year of Girl Scouts last year and really enjoyed that. She was a Daisy and will now be a Brownie! She is looking forward to that starting up again. She is such a sweet and loving little girl. She still loves to snuggle and hug and tell us how much she loves us. She is in love with our dog Rudy (named after her boyfriend from preschool) and is really good with him. He sleeps on her bed at night and they are good friends. She is a great big sister and sometimes has more patience with Allison than Troy and I do. She is very protective of Allison and will tell someone off in a minute if they mess with her little sister. She loves to draw and make things and is very creative. Our house is covered in her artwork. She is very dramatic and we call her our Drama Queen. Unfortunately she is still so wrapped up in anything Princess so she takes that as a good thing!
