5 Years, 2 Months...Growing up so much!

I have really been interested in learning this month!  I love to try to read words and know how letters sound.  I did an optional activity at school and copied two pages worth of words from flash cards.  Mommy and Daddy were so proud!
I have been talking about different things in the world like power lines and how things work.  I've also been asking more about God and Jesus.  I am more interested in dressing myself lately and like to wear a lot of different patterns.  I also bought the movie Frozen with my own birthday money.
I took several walks with my family this month and had several visitors.  Auntie Heather, Uncle Sean, Ashley, and Ian came and I loved playing with them!  I visited Miss Annie and Mr. Kenny because they are going to watch my sister at the end of this school year.  I love to see them!  I also visited the Easter Bunny with Emily.  I went to a program at the library called Ready, Set, Kindergarten.  I guess I have to get ready!
I have been testing Mommy and Daddy with my attitude and not listening the first time this month.  I even lied to Mommy about taking a vitamin that I actually threw in the trash.  We started a system where I earn a marble each time I follow directions without an attitude the first time they are given.  I have really loved this and like to work toward earning the marbles.  I also told Mommy that I wasn't mad at Emily, but that I was lonely and didn't have a lot of attention.  I said that things used to be fun, but they aren't anymore.  So, we went on a Mommy Daughter date to HyVee for donuts and Kohl's to buy new dresses and tennis shoes.  I liked having that time.
I've also been sick with a fever twice this month.  Good thing I got over it quickly!
