1. You are loving the "I Survived" series of books.
2. You are extremely conscientious about making sure your school work is done. One evening after being tucked into bed you came downstairs in tears because you realized you'd forgotten to finish an assignment.
3. You are getting really good at the violin. You are getting ready to graduate from Suzuki Book 2 and you have just started Book 3, and I'm amazed at the progress you have made.
Claire
1. You are two months into kindergarten and loving it.
2. You spend most of your recess time on the monkey bars.
3. You come home from school with various rainbow-themed drawings that you work on during "play centers."
4. You hate being covered up at night, and don't even unmake your bed most nights. This is baffling to me as somebody who loves blankets and covers.

1. Every school day after you've eaten lunch and watched an episode of Max and Ruby, you announce that you are ready for a "rest." That's when we snuggle together on the couch and you fall asleep. It's my favorite time of the day.
2. At night after Daddy or I tuck you in and tell you to stay in your bed, you matter-of-factly announce "I won't."
3. In the afternoons when your sisters are home from school and practicing their violins, you get out crayons or markers and your notebook and sit quietly at the kitchen counter coloring.
4. You have created a new verb: sticker. As in "Do you want to sticker with me" or "I'm stickering in my room."
