After enjoying all those photos of the lovely Julia I am sure you are all eager to hear what happened during her 7th year
- she visited Arkansas and Colorado
- she started homeschooling
- she met several lifelong friends this year (Violet, Tatum, Porter, and Jordyn)
- her reading has really really kicked off this past year...she's read books like A Little Princess, 2 Boxcar Children books, Swiss Family Robinson, Five Little Peppers, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and many many more
- she went to her first drama camp during the summer of her 7th year and did GREAT in the performance
- she took a drama class with her homeschool co-op and got the lead role this fall
- she became a big sister during her 7th year! she has really really become such a lovely big sister...she is caring and protective and playful!
- she went to see her first big girl play with her Grandma Belinda. It was Annie and she LOVED it!
- She is fascinated with counting money, doing math of any sort, learning about countries and oceans, and doing creative & narrative writing
- She is less into bugs and wayyy more into cars and building
- She is spunky and lively
- she is 4feet 2inches tall and catching up on her big sister quick
- She still loves to snuggle and sleeps like a champ. She is also getting way more adventurous in her food choices including steamed broccoli as one of her favorite foods!
- And speaking of food she is learning to cook and actively attempting to single handedly cooking a meal!
