Lydia is special in so many ways but here are the Six Ways for six years of life.
1. Lydia Loves School! She is learning to read. We rarely miss a week night reading at bed time. I started the year reading the stories now she reads to me. She loves to write the alphabet all over the dry erase board in the seminary room and wants everyone to spell words to her so she can write them. She also writes our phone number everywhere so she can remember it. She shares the same birth date as her teacher Mrs. Albarado.
2. Lydia likes new things. Swimming, school, riding the bus, reading, writing, dancing, singing, art, shoes, clothes, hair ribbons, hats, flowers and friends.
3. Lydia is happy and brings joy to others. Each day as she returns from school I look forward to refilling my heart. Her eyes are happy she has something to share and she makes me so glad to be her mother.
4. Lydia loves to notice the world around her. Each day would be incomplete without our daily stop at the neighbors flower beds to see the changes in the flowers. The little purple flowers came out first this spring, then the Daffodils. "Mom look at the new red ones today." "Mom what kind are these?" "Oh look at those." She sees the beauty in nature and it fills her with joy.
5. Lydia is fun and funny, she has a sense of humor that is hard to explain but easily understood. She knows how to say something funny and she knows when others are being funny. She still likes the "happy toys". But she really likes to do whatever her big brothers and sisters are doing! She is great!
6. Lydia is very adaptable. It's neat to see that her adaptablity helps her to get what she wants. She knows when to act like a small child to get the candy she wants. And she knows how to act like a teenage girl to get her sisters to take her somewhere. And she knows how to act correctly in all types of situations. She's adaptable.
That's Lydia!
We had a small family party where she opened up some great gifts from her grandparents and Mom and Dad. She blew out her birthday candles! Awesome day
