Caroline at six years old

This is our long and lengthy post about who Caroline is at the age of six. It is more so we can look back and see who our girl is at this age.

Caroline at 6 years old is 3 feet 8 inches tall (58th percentile) and 38 pounds (10th percentile). She wears her 5/6 and 6T clothes. She mainly wears  t-shirts and shorts but occasionally will wear a dress.

Caroline did a great job in kindergarten this past school year. She can count over 100, understands the concept of addition and subtraction, knows her shapes and is a good beginner reader. She needs help remembering her reading techniques but we are working with her this summer to help her get more confidant.

Caroline finished her first Sparks book in AWANA and enjoyed her Wednesday nights there. She would have loved to take swimming lessons again but with COVID we have decided to wait on that for now. She is really not interested in baseball and changed her mind about taking dance but she told me she may be interested in gymnastics.

Caroline is still a stubborn and feisty girl when she wants to be. Most of the time she is very quiet and sweet but if she has made up her mind that she will or will not do something there is little to persuade her differently. The most recent example was at Aunt Emily's wedding where she refused to have her picture taken by the wedding photographer for the family photo. She had her back facing the photographer and would not turn around and smile even with the threat of losing wedding cake.

Caroline still loves to draw and write some of the words that she knows. She is very creative.

She loves to play with bows, play zoo, Mommy and honey with Lucy and swinging on our new playset. Again she is very creative with her play and she and Lucy can entertain themselves for hours together. Once in awhile Liam checks in with them and when they all can get along its a lot of fun to watch.

Caroline goes to bed around 8:30 or 9, depending on how loud Lucy is, and wakes up between 7:30-8:30. Honestly it's been such a long time since we have had to be anywhere in the morning with the kids it's hard to say, but I'm sure she is still my slow riser in the morning.

Caroline is still very adventurous with her food. She likes many foods with her favorites still being pasta, squash, black bean burgers and watermelon

Caroline is very good with animals. The dogs that live behind us love to come to the fence when the girls are out swinging and absolutely love when Caroline goes to pet them. She is also good with Archie however he is still a crazy puppy as well.

We absolutely love our Caroline and any time we get to spend with her is such a joy. We can't wait to see how her personality will continue to blossom!
