At 8

• She refuses to wear dresses or skirts any day but Sunday. They interfere with playing.
• She insists on wearing short socks. If more than an 1/8 of an inch of sock is sticking out of her tennis shoes, they are too long.
• She still loves to play with Jackson.
• She takes great care of Sadie and loves to dress her up.
• She enjoys telling jokes, often followed by "Do you get it."

• She continues to be a messy eater.
• She still plays with toys, but is starting to enjoy more grown up things also. She told me that this year she is really way too old for princess stuff.
• She dives right into new situations. When it comes to getting up in front of people she has no fear.
• She is becoming a great swimmer.
• She is quite athletic, and really enjoys P.E.
• She is doing great in school, bringing home all A's this year.

• She dislikes cleaning her room, and will often spend hours doing it. Truthfully, she does a lot more playing than cleaning.
• She is not very interested in boys, yet. They call her, and give her things at school, but she could care less. Apparently she has already mastered playing hard to get.
• She makes friends wherever she goes. If there is someone close to her age, she will befriend them within minutes.
• She is definitely an oldest child and likes to be the boss. Luckily Jackson is pretty easy going.
• Homework is the first thing she does everyday when coming home from school.
• She eats Apple Jacks every single day for breakfast.

• She is a picky eater. She would be happy eating pizza, chicken nuggets, or spaghetti (without sauce), everyday.
• She helps me out with whatever I need, with relatively little complaining.
• She loves to draw and is really great at it.
• She puts everything in her mouth. And I mean everything. She is definitely orally fixated.
