Dear Emmi

You are my little fishy.  You love the water and are really good at it too.  Last year you passed off two levels during the one session and we will find out here in the next few days if you passed off two levels this session.  All I know is that you like to be the first in line during class so you get to go first and have so far done just that.  I love to watch you swim and see how happy it makes you.

I also loved to watch your first musical theatre recital.  Your group's theme was "All Around the World" and your class performed five different songs (sung them with dance moves).  You are quite the performer on stage and your grin was huge.  Musical theatre seems like a really good fit for you, being the ham that you are.  After the recital I asked if you want to do it again next year and you said, "Well, that was quite a lot of fun"..  Ha ha.  I think that was a yes.

You love to play with friends and like to try to skip out on chores and be out there finding someone to play with at the crack of dawn.  You just recently starting riding your new bike that you got for Christmas and love to ride up and down the street.  When you are inside, you and your friends are usually in your room playing with your "American Girl" dolls or Ever After High barbie dolls.

I love that you wanted to learn how to clean the bathrooms and have now helped me clean our three bathrooms for the past two weeks. You favorite part is cleaning the toilet, and I still haven't figured that one out yet. It is fun to be in there with you, cleaning, chatting and listening to the music.  In the past you haven't been the most helpful, your brothers usually cleaning more than you have done on Saturdays, but you have done more than your share recently.  Now if we can just get you to be excited about cleaning your room.;)  I love you Mouse!

Love,
Mom
