Teeth, what teeth!

We are in the swing of things in second grade. School, homework, gymnastics, ice skating, brownies, parties, playdates, every day is so full of stuff and you ROCK all of it! I continue to be so proud of you Charli. I appreciate your innocence and kind spirit. I appreciate how artistic you are and all your different interests. Grandma signed you up for a sewing class and you made an incredible pillow, which is just awesome and shows your array of talents. Each day you are creating something new. We are still thinking the Charli Reece Collection is definitely going to be a success. I am sure anything you do will be a success, you are that kid.

You have a new look!!! When you started second grade just a few months back you looked a little different than you do now. You lost your 2 front teeth within 2 days and boy was your mouth crazy. You looked like a human jack-o-lantern where every day you teeth were moving and shifting in different directions, with your new teeth coming in, which made for an awesome school picture! You even got $20 for one of the teeth, the tooth fairy must have known how hard you were working to get those out. We had to push and pull and wiggle wiggle and push and pull and wiggle wiggle for days. It was about 24 hours until we were going to make a trip to the dentist to help get your teeth out. You aren't really one for push push wiggle wiggle but you did it! One lost while eating and the other while brushing your teeth.

Round off flip flop and kick outs and pull overs. I don't even know the gymnastics lingo but boy can you perform. Talk about no fear, you are amazing!

Each day you become more aware of who you are and that people notice you and everyday I let you know your thoughts on who you are - are all that matter. You have a family that loves you and that is all that matters. I want you to keep being you. All blonde hair blue eyed brick house- YOU! My ponnie nonnie with the kindest heart and softest personality. Your sensitivity reminds me of just how fragile you are despite all the accomplishments. I pray for you to know your worth and find satisfaction in all you do and to use your voice.

I love you Charli and I will always be your biggest fan. The other night Grandma was over and we were all laying in AJ's room and I said, " Do you know who my favorite is," and you both were about to say who and I yelled out, "Danica." You belly laughed so hard.... We all did. I don't play favorites but you will always be my first born and I think that speaks volumes.

You be you Charli! You clean your room, you organize, you remain creative, you dress how you want, you style your hair, YOU BE YOU! Just don't forget to brush your teeth, use deodorant, and do your homework and it will all work out. Oh and spelling words, don't forget to study.

Rock on Sister. Love you so much!

Oh and I can't wait to use the legoland passes we won and for Halloween! You are going to be the greatest Alice in Wonderland Ever! Florida is just a few months away and yes you packed and we had to unpack.... the story of my life- LAUNDRY!
