A REAL KNITTER

She knitted a whole row by herself today!

MONKEY BARS

She has crazy core strength.

LIFE IS A SONG

She's come a long way since "That's Just the Thunder"...but all life is still a song to her!

ROLLERSKATING

She went rollerskating for the first time tonight.  It was rough going at the beginning but then she kinda got the hang of it.  And her more experienced friend was really sweet and helped her up whenever she fell.

MAKING UP STORIES

The Odyssey is a lot different than I remember it...

POCAHONTAS

This is her reading on the night before kindergarten starts.  It's a book we've read a billion times, so it's less impressive than a cold reading, but anyway...

RIDING ON GRAMPA

DANCING WITH MY AUNT

READING THE HOBBIT

We've started reading The Hobbit together, a page at a time, and today she wanted to try to read a little bit...

It's hard to follow along, and she has a bad habit of skipping a whole line, but it's this paragraph here...

PLEEP PLOOP

What do you do when you get "Pleep Ploop" stuck in your head? Teach it to the five year old so you can both prance around the kitchen like dweebs.

NEW BOOK

We got this book at the library today.  She sat down to read it, never having seen it before.  She is doing amazing...

FIRST CHEWING GUM

We gave her her first piece of chewing gum tonight.  She took nibbles off of it, ha.

PANTS ON DINOSAURS

In which she explains what she knows about archaeology and Jurassic Park.

KNITTING

Teaching Billie to "knit"...

THE DOG HATES NEW YEAR'S

101

I don't take as many videos anymore, because I always miss the great things to videotape and the times where I'm waiting for a good reaction...it never comes.  So this is the only video of her opening a Christmas gift.  It's meh.

FLOCK OF BIRDS

We've been watching this swarm of birds for two days.

DICK & JANE

Now this is real reading.  She read 10 chapters tonight.

DRIVING A BOAT

I realized today that I never posted the video of the time my uncle let her drive his boat!

READING TARZAN

She basically has this book memorized, but now she's doing a blend of reading from memory.  She knows where she is on the page now and is reading as she's reciting.  Pretty cool.
