All About Hannah

Now that I no longer do monthly updates on Hannah, I don't often do a post on just her.  She really is turning into a little lady, so I thought it was time to do an update:

*She is in 4t clothes, soon to be moving up to 5, and size 10 going on 11 shoes. 

*She is really a good helper.  Some of the things she helps with include laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and dusting.  She's also very good at making her (and Jack's) bed in the morning.

*She gets herself dressed every morning and pretty much picks out all of her own outfits.  She's actually really good at matching.

*One of her favorite things to do lately is play story time.  Of course, she's the teacher, and Jack and I get to listen on the floor as she reads us stories.

*She is a scheduler and a planner.  She wants to know details like what time we will be someplace or what day we are going somewhere.  She is not satisfied with just a general answer of later or far away, but we must be specific.  It's also pretty common to catch her with a pen and paper making a list (can't imagine where she gets that from!). 

*She loves to color and paint.

*She loves to make forts out of blankets and get their sleeping bags out to "camp" in the middle of the living room.

*She is a very good big sister.  She really helps Jack and likes to give him directions that may or may not be received well :-)  It is really nice to be able to ask her to help with Jack and know that for the most part she will do it.

*She has a flowered nightgown that is her absolute favorite and would wear every. single. night. if I didn't throw it in the laundry and hide it myself.

*She has really gotten into taking care of her baby dolls.  She has several and dresses them all up in old baby clothes, gives them naps, puts them in their high chair to feed them, etc.

*She is very excited to go to school in a few weeks!

 

*She's becoming sensitive to right and wrong and learning to apologize.  Several times after she has done something wrong, she will later come back to me and apologize all on her own without any prompting from us.  It's so encouraging and rewarding to see God developing his character in her.  We are truly blessed.
