happy 5th birthday ky!

5 - not as hard to deal with as 8, but still, i am a little shocked.

how did 5 come so fast??? based on jojo's thoughts, is ky now a kindergartener? do we have to "start school" now? even the ladies who teach the boys at CBS said - "we get your daughter next year!" can't she stay with the other little ones in the 5-year-old class? are we so known as overachievers? :) i suppose the day she took a stack of 100 sight words on a ring to class with her didn't help! she doesn't even know them! she just likes to carry them around. (apparently, just carrying them makes one smart.:)

this past year, ky's grown so much! she wants to be like her brothers. soccer was a bit of a flop, but this year she has friends who are going to play so she wants to play with them - we'll see what really happens.

ky started working out of a little book called Little Keepers at Home - it's a scout-type set-up where you work on different "badges". She has worked on sewing - and can thread a needle. She enjoys baking and is currently working on a Bible memory portion. she asked if she can do a little each day for her "lessons" like the boys do lessons.

just this week, she is riding the little bike we have with no training wheels & no pedals. we suggested this last year, but she didn't want to do it and suddenly, she really wants to! i think it has something to do with the fact that she can't cross the street from our driveway to make a complete circle of our cul-de-sac until she has no training wheels - that's our rule.

ky still LOVES shoes! takes after her daddy! i think this might be one she doesn't grow out of. :)

in bigger news, ky has one loose tooth! and is very excited about it. she plays with it daily and asks me to pull it out, though we're not even close. still another sign that she's growing up.
