November update and report card

Sorry it's been over a month since I've last updated. Aelita is doing very well. She is startIng to have less accidents finally and since I've startedthe chore charts again she's been listening much better. She still whines like crazy but we're working on it. The beginning of the month she got her first report card of the year. She's doing pretty well other than reading. Especially with words like on and no where she often flips the letters. She loves math though and for the most part does extreamly well considering how much I despise math and struggle with it. Aelita is really excited for Christmas and the break from school.

quick little update on Aelita.
Aelita is doing well. She Loves school and primary now. She is however having some issues with her asthma but nothing major. on the 11th of November i have Aelita's first Kindergarten parent conference and i will let you know how that goes later. Aelita is still whinny and very sensitive about any and everything. she is looking forward to Halloween and going trick or treating and being able to wear her snow white costume.

School and primary.

Aelita is doing quite well in kindergarten and is looking forward to her 1st field trip next month. She is having some difficulty with identifying some of her letters but is doing better all the time. However over all she doesn't like going to school and now hates doing homework. What happens to my little girl who used to love school and wanted to do homework? I have no clue where that child disappeared to but she really needs to come back. Primary is pretty much the same she used to love going most of the time but now she fights going to sharing time but doesn't mind going to her class. When I ask her why she doesnt want to go to primary she simply replies that she misses sister and brother edde as well as Erin and chance.

Kindergarten

Aelita has was able to attend 3 days of kindergarten before hurricane Irene passed through and closed down schools for almost a week. She says kindergarten is fun but at the same time boring because she can already write her letters and the are just tracing letters right now. So far we've had nothing but stars on her little chart which is always a good thing I think. She rides the bus with some of the neighbors kids and has a good time playing with all the boys(7 total ranging from 3 to 13). She is also taking piano lessons(I'm tacking her the basics before I pass off to my foster mom who is a piano teacher). She breezes through just about everything like it's so easy or something. Aelita loves being with grandma and grandpa as well as her uncles Zachary Louis and Russell Edward. She hasn't seen Noah Christopher or Rachael Michelle yet but I'm hoping she will soon.

Sorry its been awhile

The past month or two has been very hetic especially for Aelita. First our friends Kayla and Kent moved up to the salt lake area to get ready for their upcoming adoption, then our friend Teresa moved to prepare for their daughters arrival. After the moved away our cousins came up to help us pack and to watch the girls while i was in class. Then on the 11th of this month we flew back to maryland. We also got her registered for kindergarten and will find out who her teacher is this weekend. Aelita is very excited to begin school in 4 more days.

Kindergarten already

Aelita will be starting kindergarten in just a few weeks at calvert elementary and she is super excited. She has all of her school supplies already as well as a couple uniforms for Monday and Wednesday and Friday. She is also really excited to fly on an airplane in just a few days. However she is going to miss all of her friends that are out here in Utah especially Erin and Chance and her primary teachers.

Aelita's 5th birthday!

Last Sunday Aelita celebrated her 5th birthday. She had a lot of fun with everyone that was able to come. The party actually started when we got home Friday evening and found that cousins zack and tiana and their mom had arrived from st. George and the girls were so excited to see them again. She was also excited that Erin and Chance and shawna and Marshall were also able to come. Aelita really loved all of the presents that she received and plays with them all. The gifts that she got were a nintendo DSi, game and case, a snow white doll, a tangled doll and coloring book, plastic food for her little kitchen, book with a magnadoodle, cookies, book of Mormon stories, a BYU backpack with some school supplies, and lots of hugs. I also made her cake again this year and every year I keep saying I'm not doing it again so we will see what happens next year:).

Almost 5 where did the time go.

In about two weeks Aelita will be turning 5 years old. She is so excited to have her birthday party with Lexie,Emily,Erin and Chance and the many others that will hopefully come as well. She decided that she wants to have pizza for dinner wih every one that comes as well as cake and ice-cream for dessert. She also wants a Tangled theme so we will see how well that goes. She is so excited and can't wait for her party.

Ballet! Seriously.

Ok so Aelita's babysitters daughter is in dance and so now Aelita wants to do ballet when we get to maryland. However I'm trying to figure out just how were going to manage paying for that one.

Moving......again

In august we will be moving yet again. This time...clear back to Maryland. We will stay in Utah until august. Then we will head to Maryland. The plan for now is for grandma cora and grandpa mark to drive a u-haul truck back from here to Maryland while Oma Judy flus back with mommy and the girls. Once we get there Aelita will get registered for kindergarten at Calvert elementary school. Hopefully we get there before school starts out there.

My Little Overachiever

A few weeks ago i bought some things to help Aelita get prepared for Kindergarten, like some little books to read and some workbooks to help her with math and writing and reading comprehension. well she has done really well with them and is now almost finished with all of them. Here are some of the things that she knows now.
Reading:
she can read
see
be
go
are
I
a
Math:
She can add
1+any number
2+2
She can also add up to ten using crayons and her fingers
Writing:
she can write her name and any other word as long as she has them to look at but no longer needs the dots to trace
comprehension:
she can tell you what happens in a story after it is read to her.

Aelita loves to learn and i really love that about her. She is going to be such a smart little girl and i hope that she continues to have a love of learning.

My 4 going on 16 year old

Aelita seems to think that she's such a teenager lately. She always gets an attitude when ever I tell her no and will just sit on the couch giving me the evil eye and pouting. Since spring has supposedly started her asthma is back in full force. She still loves school and is going to flip when she discovers that kiana has deleted her theavh me kindergarten game Crome the iPod. Aelita is looking forward to starting kindergarten this fall(however I'm not that excited yet maybe as the time gets closer I'll get more excited about it. I'm still adjusting to her Turning 5 this summer. Well that's about it

Growing so fast

Aelita is growing so fast. She will be 5 in just 3 short months and is already so smart. She is learning how to add simple numbers like 1+1 and  also subtract simple things like 1-1 on a game that i have on the ipod called teach me kindergarten pretty soon I'm going to have to download the 1st grade version just so that it can keep up with her willingness and longing to learn as much as she can. i really hope that she keeps up the love of learning when she starts school this fall.  She still loves to watch t.v and play the Wii. She actually prefers educational games and her dance game over any of the other games that we have. 

Aelita Update

Aelita

Aelita is growing so fast. I can't believe that she' going to be 5 in june and start school this fall.  She loves to sing and dance and really enjoys playing just dance for kids and disney's sing it high school musical and pop hits both games are really fun to watch her play.  She loves school although she has a hard time for some reason now when i leave to go to school or work or where ever i have to be.  She also loves playing with her doll house, but still has a hard time with kiana demanding so much attention and also doesn't like playing with her because Ki gets rough and mean.
