Brag A Little

Just a quick update

Sadie...

• consistently spells her first and last name correctly.
• can identify her first name in print.
• can identify all the letters of the alphabet (even in a random order)
• counts everything and can count to 29 (when she gets to 29, she says 29....20! She doesn't believe me that the next number is 30)
• knows her birthday.
• is obsessed with birthdays and always wants to know whose birthday is next.
• will take her clothes to the laundry room.
• will clean up her toys, but needs a lot of encouragement.
• is always up by 6:30AM.
• goes to bed between 7:00 - 8:00PM.
• likes to look at books and understands that the letters on the pages make up words. (When I ask Sadie to read to me she says, "But I don't know the words!"
• likes to help with laundry. (Sadie helps sort laundry, load the washing machine, and pushes the buttons on the washing machine.)
• loves the Chipmunks and sings Vacation (all the time)
• is a mover and a shaker.
• can put her shoes on the correct feet.
• likes to pick out her own clothes in the morning.
• will not jump in the pool at swimming lessons or at her Grandparents' house.
• loves to snuggle.
• enjoys eating popcorn and watching movies. (At home or at a theater)

When I was looking at pictures today while working on her Shutterfly album, I was so surprised at how grown up she looks now versus last year. It is amazing the change in one short year.

Sadie will soon be a big sister and I think she will be fabulous! Her brother is one lucky baby to have her as a sister!
