My sweet little Janie is sure growing up! She is 6 now! It's crazy to think that when we moved here to California she was 18 months old! That seems like just yesterday to me and now here she is in Kindergarten and six!!
She has done really well in Kindergarten and has picked up reading and math and everything else really easily. I am really proud or how well she has done going for so long too, she goes from 10 am until three pm, when she rides her bike home with her sisters. She has made friends really well and even has a cute little boy named Maxim that just loves her so much! Jane is really different than my other two, in that she is who she is for everybody. There is no show for her teacher and then she is different at home. I went to Parent teacher conference and I was expecting no problems because that is how the other two girls are at school. But the teacher said she was having some problems with Jane just shutting down if she had to talk to her about anything. She also would just ignore another student if they were assigned to work together and Jane didn't feel like she wanted to work with them. We had to have a little talk about treating others the way we want to be treated. I sure hope that helped. I would be so sad if it was my child that was making other kids feel sad.
Jane is also going through a bit of a lazy phase right now. Suffice it to say it is a darn good thing that she goes to the later kindergarten rather than the early one. It is still hard to get her motivated and ready to go by 10 am. She doesn't like to do things like clean up after herself or make her bed. It is seriously pulling teeth!!
There are such great things about our Janie girl though, she is so sweet and loving to her siblings. Especially Russy, he just loves her so much and she is so sweet to play his boy games with him. Annie loves her too, and Janie is so nice to share her stuffed animals with Anne, because they mean a lot to Jane. For her birthday she went to build-a-bear and made herself a pretty white bear that she named Sugar. She always has to have an animal to sleep with.
A funny thing about Jane that she has been since she was little is so very stubborn about the clothes that she wears and the way I do her hair. She has a ton of really cute clothes that have been handed down to her and yet she will only wear a few things, most in my opinion are not very cute either!! It drives me a little crazy! She also is very particular about how she wants her hair done and I can never convince her otherwise!! Oh well!
One funny story about Jane that just kind of sums her up: Every night after family prayer we take turns saying something nice about the person who said the prayer. Well one night I had said the prayer and when it was Jane's turn she said "I got nothing!" It was too funny for me to really feel bad about it. She does usually say the same thing which is " I like how mom makes us really good meals. " that makes me feel good becuase I do try to make them good meals to eat. We just love our silly Janie goose and we are so glad that she is in our family!!
