Sydney's growing up faster and faster it seems. She's doing really well with her potty training. She does her best when I don't remind her and is motivated by preschool that starts here in a few weeks! Her drawing skills have improved a lot lately. The other day while we were working outside she was so excited to show me this picture she drew. "I drew a whale, mom!" Turns out she really did.
She has finally grasped the idea of having friends and really loves to play with other kids. We are excited for the school year to start and a lot of people's schedules slow down so we can get together with other kids more often. She asks me everyday if a friend is coming over to play. Another thing I've noticed is her desire to participate in group activities. She talks about dancing, playing soccer and basketball, and most recently gymnastics. We've been watching a lot of Olympics the past week and a half, and yesterday when I went into her room after quiet time she said she had a trick to show me. I was impressed by her creativity in lining up her stools to create her own "balance beam" and her efforts to jump from stool to stool and twirl around on them. She's such a fun little girl and its awesome to see her personality and preferences emerge more and more.
(I realize her head was kind of cut off some and she's in panties... but I wanted to show it anyway :D)
