~ * ~ Of Pandas and Pirates ~ * ~: Miranda Update

I decided it's been a while since I did a real update about either of the kids so I'm going to do that now. I'll start with my beautiful oldest! I will mostly be following the same update format that I used for Elliott's first year. If there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask!

*STATS*

She had her 6 year check up back in April and she was 42lbs and 45inches so I would imagine she isn't to far off from that. She's average for height but still a skinny twig.

*EATING*

She is really good about eating usually. There are only a few things she doesn't like. Onions, mushrooms and spicy things top the list. She's really good about eating her vegetables. She loves spinach, broccoli and cauliflower but will eat just about any veggie. She even tried brussel sprouts by choice and loved them as well. Her favorite foods are of course kid standbys but she doesn't put up a stink about eating other things. We only indulge her every once and a while. Occasionally she likes to take a looong time to eat dinner but we're working on it.

*SLEEPING*

As always she is an excellent sleeper. She goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 and wakes up for school at 7:30. When allowed to sleep in on weekends though she varies. Some mornings she wakes up earlier around 6:30 or so and other times she will sleep until 8:00 or more. My kids are weird like that with wake up times. Of course she doesn't nap and hasn't for years, however, on the rare occasion she will lay down and fall asleep for an hour or so and this never affects her bed time.

*ACTIVITY/MILESTONES*

Not really sure what to put here. She can't tie her shoes yet but we're getting closer. She can clean her room and make her bed. She is getting better at putting her clothes away. She has yet to try riding her bike this year even though I've offered numerous times. She can skip but she can't jump rope yet. She loves to be in the water even when it's way to cold. We're unsure about splash parks yet. She was scared of the sprinkler last summer but is okay with it now so hopefully she'll like them. She can read really well now for her age and is reading above her grade level. She's ready to go for first grade next year. She really enjoyed school and I think she's going to do awesome next year too as her first year of all full days! I have a bunch of summer school activities planned as well on top of her school provided packet.

*CLOTHING*

We mostly only put her in 5's and 6's as far as clothes go. I'm sure there are a bunch of smaller items that she can still fit in though. Some of her shorts I believe are 4's and maybe even a 3T here or there. Who knows anymore. She has a very, very full wardrobe and at least 15-20 different pairs of shoes.
Edited to add that her shoe size is slowly moving up from an 11 to a 12.

*TEETH*

She has all four of her 6 year molars now and still has only lost her two front bottom teeth. Although I'm sure that there are lots more loose teeth to come very soon.
