Everyday I'm reminded just how fast time is going. Next week, I register Ashlynn for Kindergarten and Kenley has been waking up just looking bigger. It's been a long time since I've blogged chronicling their growth, or blogged at all, but here is just a little snapshot of things I never want to forget. I am about 3 years over due on a Sister/Sister update afterall!
Just a few weeks shy of turning 5, this girl is becoming quite the artist. Her favorite activity is definitely coloring, art in general, or anything crafty.
I finally gave her a Lego set over the weekend because I finally can see she has the concentration to complete them on her own. I held off of buying them because one, they can get pricy, and two, I figured if I tried to force the activity on her I'd be the one building it then she'd just want more. I'm not sure she'll be a Lego fanatic like my brother and I were, but it's definitely the perfect quiet time activity for now.
Her favorite toys are her stuffed puppies. Not that good ol' bunny doesn't reign supreme, but of all her dolls and toys in general playing with her stuffed puppies is tops. Vet check ups, grooming sessions, birthday parties, she basically runs her own little humane society.
She's loving soccer and pretty good too! Definitely has her head in the clouds at times, but it's tough staying focused for a 4 year old. She's not crazy aggressive, but she comes to play. She's scored some goals and isn't afraid to hold back. It's going to be exciting to see her talents grow and interests change over the years.
As mentioned in the last posts, she's a beginning reader and doing fantastic. I know she'll be going into Kindergarten confident and ready.
She also keeps referring back to that time on "Green Patrick's Day".
Kenley
One of my favorite things ever, that I just have to have written down is Kenley's bedtime routine. This girl is
And despite the drawn out routine, she still ends up in our bed every single night.
She is currently obsessed with Trolls and Princess Poppy. Aside from actually watching Trolls, on a sad to admit almost daily basis, we always have "troll music" on - the Can't Stop the Feeling station on Pandora. She loves singing, dancing, and acting out the scenes from the movie. So now in addition to the color red and Everest from Paw Patrol (a show we never watch since we dont have nickelodeon), Princess Poppy is an official "my favorite". Which she loves telling people her full name and all her favorites upon introduction. "My name is Kenley Blank and my red is my favorite. And Everest. And Princess Poppy."
K's first preferred activity is cuddling up to a movie, her second favorite activities are swinging at the playground and playing with the Little People toys. Also dancing.
I can't wait to see these girls grow, but also begging for time to slow down!
