Presley Grace

Oh Presley Pie. Where do I start? How in the world did you grow so fast? In the last 6 months you have grown into an actual little person. There is no baby in my baby girl anymore.  You are a perfectionist, you are competitive (b/c it really is important who finishes their dinner first or who gets their seat belt fastened first!), you are so smart, funny, beautiful and still a little shy. Recently you have been speaking up and answering questions from strangers! You want to order your own food at restaurants (even though this is something we have had you do for years)!

Your brain seems to never stop thinking. On your birthday, every commercial that came on TV you had to point out EVERY '5' you saw! If you see a letter, you automatically start thinking about what other words start with that letter too. You enjoy doing flash cards more than you like playing games!You have a great memory! It's amazing the things that you remember whether it be about something from 2 years ago or a casual conversation last night. You LOVE preschool, I think you thrive on the organization, the learning....and I must say, I think you might be one of the teachers' favorite students! :)

You are a great big sister! You love to help her and to tell her what to do, you love to tell on her and to take her toys (b/c you know she can't fight you for them). You are very helpful with Piper and we thank you and love watching you interact with her!

Your speech is still a little hard to understand. Two consonants in a row is hard for you to pronounce correctly. Smell is sell, Skyler (your new fish is Syler), your friend Sydney at school is 'Cindy'.

You pretty much can't wear any '5T' clothes anymore. We are now looking at the little girls clothes and most of the time buying 5-6 size shirts. You are very picky about your clothes, you like almost anything with sparkles or glitter and you don't really like jeans (even though I'm getting so tired of the stretch pants EVERYDAY!). You don't like to do hardly anything to your hair. It's usually down (which drives me crazy), up in a pony, or back with a headband on rare occasions. No pigtails, no braids (unless done by Miss Janet at preschool!). So we'll be getting that hair cut soon.

You are still a daddy's girl but you and I have been doing better. Hopefully that will continue for the next 15 years. :) When you get mad you tell us that you are going to 'stare' at us! ooohhhhh noo......my guess is that this is something you learned at preschool!

Overall you have grown into this amazing little girl! Every day you make us laugh and amaze us with the things that come out of your mouth! We love it! Never stop acting silly, Pster! We love you Presley Grace!

At your 5 year doctors appt today, you were very nervous. We had talked about having to get shots and the other kids in your class had talked about it too, so you knew it was coming, and I couldn't lie to you about it hurting.  The shots were terrible. You broke down crying before they even came into the room. "Mama! Mama! No! No!" It was bad, they brought in an extra nurse to help me hold you down! NOT COOL!

We had Grandma come to the rescue again and P went to her house for the afternoon since her legs hurt so bad she couldn't walk! LOL (Drama!) Of course, she is doing everything she needs to. Nothing to worry about it, things look good, growing and learning like she should!
She was 42 lbs (64%) and 42.5 inches (49%), so she is average!

For her birthday she got a trampoline (pictures to follow when global warming takes effect and we can actually be outside!) and a beta fish! She loves the responsibility! She named him/her, Skyler (our only request was that she didn't name it Piper)!
 
Where did my baby go?
