2022 End of 4th Grade Update

I mean how could it be that you are 10?! I don't ever want you to leave, like really I don't ever want you to leave the bubble I have you in. When they say time goes by so fast I have realized this every day that is why I always want to be with you guys. You are such a blessing. From the day you were born you have been an incredible human. Every day you get older this only rings more true. 4th grade has continued a pattern of almost perfection. Your grades are all A's. Your Cogat score was 97% national ranking in Math. You were the leading scorer on your club soccer team- playing in a boy's league. You improved each gymanstics meet on your overall scores and finished 5th on beam, 6th on floor, 7th on bars and 8th All-Around in your first Illinois State Meet. I really don't know if a Mom could be more proud. You are a Girl Scout, you give back to others. You have the kindest heart and so many different friends. For your birthday you had 20 girls over for a sleepunder. You had the girls pick between 3 movies: Sandlot, Cheaper by the Dozen, and Enchanted. You invited everyone from your class so that no one was left out and you have an individual friendship will all of them. How great is that? I really am so proud of you, even as hormones start to take over you still LOVE me and want to spend time with me and tell me everything. I will leave those personal things out of this blog, but we definitely have an open relationship and I hope you always know I am hear to listen and talk about anything...and to make sure your put on pitty juice! I can't believe that you started the year with one "boyfriend" and ending the year with another. I sure do like the boy's you pick, I am thinking Danica will be going for more of the bad boys. OH BOY! Your days are filled with things to do. MWF Gymnastics, T/R Soccer, weekends games or meets. Days are filled with school and homework. You have completed one Math assignment almost every day this entire year...it pays off as all tests have been an A+. You set a goal of perfection and you met it. Your Math brain is amazing. That must translate to how awesome you can braid hair. I can't even believe how you taught yourself to do that. You also are writing songs, " I was driving down the road in the middle of Texas, when I saw you standing there." There are so many things you can do that I don't even know what your future holds. Well I do know it has a clarinet in it, even though I am rooting for the drums :) Your long blonde hair, blue eyes, not an ounce of fat on you, crooked teeth, red nose, adorable amazing person. Your creativity is beyond imagination. Your room is full of pictures you made, pillows you made, blankets, you made, medal and certificates you achieved. From a Golden Paw at school to first place on beam and floor. You keep setting goals and reaching goals and you smile the entire time you do it. You have learned to presevere.... and that the biggest challenge is to just show up. We will always have our little secret of how we got to the State meet in Bourbanaiss when I went the worng way. BUT WE MADE IT! Next stop your placement meeting today! I look forward to you finishing the last month of school post-pandemic, no mask, huge smile ready to take on 5th grade. You are an amazing sister, you own that role. You were meant to be the first born. I appreciate all your help, your kindness, your softness, and I love when you blow double kisses not matter where you go; mask on or mask off. I love that you LOVE karate kid and Cobra Kai. I love that I see you as YOU, you are your own little person who I am so very proud of and I love with all my heart. Hugging you makes my heart full. Here's to 10 years together Charli! Keep it Rockin! Poonie rocka ruuda , Judy Hops, Luli Lu xoxoxo I forgot to mention one thing about Easter. We saw 2 bunnies for pictures one out and about and one Easter bunny our house. You, Danica, and AJ wore your ears out to eat; it was awesome. However, a girl at school told you the bunny is not real and that her Mom is the bunny. You told her,"Well that is not true my Mom can't be the bunny we got Birkenstocks for Easter and My mom hates those!" Thank you for being you!
