Delaney loves school, it's all she ever talks about. She can write her full name, and her alphabet. She's doing pretty good on her numbers too. She loves to write. She loves trying to spell. Right now she can spell about 10 words, and can recognize them in books. I don't know if shes on track or behind. I seem to think she's fine for 4. We are working on learning to tie shoes right now. She can't wait for kindergarten. I think she is more than ready, the only thing I worry about is her not taking naps. She is a little bear without them. I don't know how she'll though a full day of school. Our school district only has full day kindergarten. School is still a bit away, maybe that will give her time to grow out of the naps.
She has a best friend named Mallory. It's so cute, they are so much alike. She has been going over to Mallory's house every couple weeks for a play date. She felt so comfortable over there, she decided to take off her pants and run around and play. She thought it was fine because she had tights on underneath.
Delaney thinks it's fun to run around the house in her underwear, or her bathing suit or just dressing up like a dork in layers of layers of clothes and playing.
I'm having a real hard time with her right now. She likes to change her clothes a minimum of 10 times a day. Every time she changes her clothes she's throwing the ones shes had on for 5 mins in the basement to be washed. I know she's just playing, but it's frustrating.
Delaney doesn't want to eat anymore either. Well she'll eat, but all she wants is junk food. She will tell us she's full, she'll put the rest of her food in the fridge, then ask for junk. I won't let her eat anything until she finishes her dinner. This has resulted in grilled chicken and potatoes for breakfast the other day!
All in all she is a great kid, and if that's all the problems shes giving me I should count myself lucky.
Delaney is still in dance class. She takes tap and ballet on Monday, and tumbling on Friday. They are starting to work on the recital routine. Man are her costumes ugly this year. When Dance is over for the summer, we're enrolling her in swim class at the Y. I think everyone should learn to swim. Especially her, it scares me that she is fearless around water. The only problem will be picking out a bathing suit. She want a "two half" Greg and I say no way in hell! It's hard to find little girl clothes that aren't trashy.
Here's Delaney showing off her tumbling skills. Love the cartwheels.
Even though she gives me a hard time, I wouldn't trade her for anything.
