Lainey Update

I don't think I have written much about Lainey lately. I am with the boys so much more now but there is never a shortage of information and stories about Lainey!

She is really loving kindergarten. She adores her teacher. Lainey writes her notes and we drive by Mrs. Barnes house a lot so the kids can yell, "Hi Mrs. Barnes!!!" I guess it sounds a little like stalking but she's only 5! When I start helping her write notes with letters cut out of a newspaper and park outside of her house for hours --then let's get worried.

They are learning so much in kindergarten. They are writing sentences! I am pretty sure that we did not do that in Mrs. Walker's kindergarten in 1979.

In my previous post, I noted that Lainey looks exactly like her dad. That I am not in the gene pool. But actually, Lainey does have a lot of my mannerisms. I just wanted to tell you a few.

The other day after school, 4 boys came up to Lainey and said, "Lainey, come chase us!" To my surprise, she actually did go chase them! Later that night, I asked her who some of the boys were. She said, "Daniel, and Jackson--you know the one with the really cute hair." That's my girl. He did have cute hair.

Here is some of her sentences. They are learning to use the words more and less.

It says, "I like to eat more bread. I like to eat less green beans."
For those of you who know me, bread is my favorite food!

This one says, "I like to eat more Mac N Cheese. I like to eat less oranges."
Now who wouldn't prefer Mac N Cheese over oranges--or anything for that matter.

If you look closely, you can see that Lainey has a tooth coming in behind her baby teeth. She is thrilled to lose a tooth! That is the thing in kindergarten to do evidently. Let's pray that the baby teeth come out before that big one comes in. I can't imagine that will be very comfortable!

We love Lainey!
