Kyla


This is a post about our Beautiful daughter Kyla!

Kyla is 6 now, and in 1st grade. Her favorite subject is Art. She is a very talented artist. She truly does draw better than I do. Yet she won't do it on demand. She can sit a draw in detail very cute stuff, but if I ask her to draw something, she won't take as much time and won't go into detail. She is having a difficult time adjusting to the strictness of First grade. She is very social and loves to talk to everyone.....all the time. But that is her one downfall, when I ask the teacher why she doesn't mover her away from the other kids the teacher says she leaves Kyla where she is because she is a little helper, she reads instructions to the other kids and explains problems that they don't understand, and that is worth the talking.

She is one of the best readers in her class and is reading above her level. She is getting E's in all of her subjects and is going to be tested for Gifted and Talented the next testing. She is now in an enrichment program since the Gifted and Talented tests only twice a year.
She has lost her 1st tooth and is exceptionally proud of that fact! Most of the kids in her class have already lost one or more of their teeth and she was feeling left out.
My friend told me of a website icaughtthetoothfairy.com where you can get pictures with the toothfairy. With promo code of fairyproof
.
She is taking gymnastics, and dance. She LOVES dance, and tolerates gymnastics for her Daddy and Mommy. They seam to think it is good for her coordination, flexibility and strength.
She is going thru her preteen stage right now, and sometimes can be very sassy! She has also cut her hair for the 5th time. I don't think she has EVER EVER had hair that is all the length it is supposed to be. One day her hair was up in a half ponytail and she couldn't get the rubberband out. SO she cut it out, along with 1/2 of the ponytail! now she has a nice short ring around her head, and of corse it is the top layer of hair. Practically impossible to hide. The shortest part of her hair being only 2 inches long, right on top.
She is a very good friend, and makes friends easily, yet she has had trouble on the bus with teasing. One girls in particular teases her because she sucks her thumb. (well I know she shouldn't and we can't seem to get her to stop) but the teasing went on and the girl punched Kyla in the face. Andrew was furious and wanted to go "talk" to the girl on the bus. Thankfully the bus driver handled the situation.

She is a HUGE help with Becky, often changing her diaper and clothes and rescuing her from dangerous situations. Most of the time her and Breven get along very well.

What a delight she is to have in our family!!!
We love our KYLA RAE!

ah... summer fun

So we got a little waterslide for our back yard. It was fun, but no to fast, and Kyla, while she could get to the end, usually didn't make it all the way. So to add a little excitement we put it at the end of our slide for our playground, put water on it and tadah, a waterslide. It was actually pretty fun to go down.




the perfect picture

Have you ever taken about a million pictures of a totally cute outfit and didn't get even one the does it justice? Thank goodness for digital camera's! But I did get a few cute ones.
