Today you turn 69 months! It's the second to last day of kindergarten and I can't believe the school year is over already. You have learned and grown so much over this school year. You told me this morning that you will be sad when school gets out. I'm glad you love going to school and I hope you always feel that way. Education is so important. You are starting to read really well. You read a 1st reader to me last night and only needed help with a few words.
We've been letting your hair grow out the last couple months and we'll shave it for the summer. It's gotten so long that I can put a ponytail on the top of your head and I was even able to french braid it! You thought that was pretty funny but I must say it'll be nice not to have to do anything to your hair once it's shaved.
We had a fun Memorial Day. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Funk's for a BBQ and played in the backyard. They got out the croquet set which you've been wanting to play and you had a great time playing it. You weren't too bad either. For awhile you were even beating me. You are very athletic and love to be running around and playing ball and such.
You broke your first bone this month. You were in Grandma and Grandpa Funk's backyard and playing with a metal wagon. Somehow you got your finger pinched in it and the nail bed turned black and blue but you didn't really complain about it. About a week later I noticed it was really really swollen so I took you to urgent care. They took an x-ray and you'd broken off the tip of the bone. You get to wear a splint for 3 weeks but you haven't complained about your finger hurting at all. We'll see if you keep your fingernail.
It's going to be such a fun summer. Already we've played with homemade fingerpaint and Daddy and I made you lightsabers out of pool noodles which you are very excited about. We love you so much.
Love, Mommy
