Sydney Update

Wow! Sydney sure is getting so big!

Recently, we changed her car seat into a booster seat.  She was one happy and proud girl that day!  She loves that she can unbuckle herself when it is time to get out.  



Sydney is loving coloring and drawing lately.  I often find drawings of our family, pretty much anywhere there is a paper/pen/crayons, including in my planner and on my lists.  It makes me so happy that her favorite thing to draw is our little family of four.  I love finding her little drawings all over the place...




She also has learned how to spell all of our names.  Many times she writes our names on her drawings, but other times I find little things typed onto our computer.  Good thing she doesn't know the password to get the computer turned on :)




Sydney has loved spending time with her new baby cousin Landon.  She is so proud that she can hold him by herself (sitting down with the support of a pillow and supervision, of course).  She talks about having another baby sister in our family.  She and Cooper love to play "mom and dad" and take care of their "children."  It is so cute.  Sydney will be a great mom someday, and is already a great big sister.





Sydney's hair has gotten so long!  One day we straightened it, and were surprised at how long it was.  Last week we cut three inches off... it's still pretty long, but looks nice and cleaned up.  Sydney loved going to Michele's to get her hair cut.  



Sydney especially loves going to school.  She loves everything about it.  She has been learning how to read three letter words, and is always sounding words out, or figuring out what letter words start with.  It is so fun to watch her learn and grow!  We are so proud of her.  

She also loves telling stories and making up songs.  She has quite the imagination and tells some pretty lengthy stories at bed time.  We have to save story telling nights for non-school nights because of this :)  

Sydney has been really good at helping around the house.  She does struggle to clean up toys, because she gets so distracted.  But she loves to help load/unload the dishwasher, pick up dirty clothes, transfer laundry to the washer/dryer, set the table, and take Cooper's diapers all the way out to the big garbage can in the garage.  

We sure love our "Ni-ney!"  She makes us so happy and is such a good girl!
