In January Aspen turned 5 1/2 years old. Here are some things about Aspen:
- Aspen is in kindergarten. She is becoming a good little reader. It took her a while for reading to "click", but she's starting to make some good progress. She loves kindergarten. Her teacher Ms. Mathews is really great. And her best friend at school is a girl named Lia.
- Aspen is my best helper. She wakes up in the morning and gets dressed, makes her bed, and eats breakfast quickly. She's the only one I don't have to bug about moving faster. She is also my best cleaner-upper. She knows where all the toys go and is great about helping me clean up after friends come over.
- She is doing great at tumbling. She recently learned her back walk-over. And she's super buff.
- Aspen is great about helping watch younger kids. If I babysit for a friend with a baby, she will take over the mother role and bodyguard that child to keep it safe from Luke.
- Aspen and Luke play really well together (for the most part). Most mornings they play school. Aspen has a great "teacher voice" and bosses Luke around. She teaches him all sorts of school-y things and reads him books. I love listening to them play together.
We love Aspen and she's growing up into such a great girl. She was a very difficult toddler for me, but now she is probably the easiest kid in the family.
