Lucy is 3 ft 10 in tall and weighs 40 lbs. She wears 6T in all her clothes.
Lucy celebrated her birthday with a dinner with Grandparents! She insisted on a small wedding cake to be her birthday cake. She accepted a small cupcake that I tried to make look like a tiered wedding cake instead; she loved it!
She celebrated with friends at Altitude Trampoline Park a week later for a midweek party! We had 2 friends, Adalyn and Annabelle, celebrate with us. After 90 minutes of jump time I took them all to McDonald's for some Happy Meals and then home before 7:30 pm. It was a school night and Altitude was not busy at all, the girls had the place almost to themselves.
Lucy still remains our most social child. She talks to everyone during dismissal on a school day including kids who look like they are in the 4th or 5th grade. She will repeatedly say, "Hey, I know you" and they all say "Hi Lucy (giggle giggle)". She will also talk to any of Liam's or Caroline's friends if they come over to play. In church when all the kids K-5th grade meet for lesson time she will usually sit with Caroline's friends instead of her own class of K-1st grade.
Lucy's wardrobe mainly consists of leggings and shirts. She really will not wear dresses anymore. She did get a disco ball for Christmas and she and Caroline will dress up in fancy dresses and get my high heel shoes out to dance and sing to music. She does talk about wanting to get her ears pierced and will happily wear the clip on earrings that she got her in her Christmas stocking. She enjoys playing with makeup and finds it incredibly unfair that only grown ups get to put on make up every day.
She also loves to sing. Right now the girls love the Matilda musical; they have watched it on Netflix 5-6 times and request to hear the soundtrack in the car everywhere we go. In church she will sing the praise songs even though she can't read, she still tries to sing along.
Lucys loves to watch TV. She enjoys Matilda, Mickey Mouse shorts, Bluey, Big City Greens, Teen Titans Go, America's Funniest Home Videos, The Goldbergs, Harry Potter, any Disney movie ever made and whatever Marvel movie we will let her watch.
She really enjoys playing with her toys. Figurines, MagnaTiles, Legos, Babies and Barbies are some of her favorites. Some of the time she will play with the American Girl Doll things that Aunt Adriane and I have given to the girls (Molly and Kirsten). She is always down for whatever imaginative game or activity Caroline has made up for them to do; whether that is library, zoo, Art club, school or hotel. She also really enjoys playing board games with the whole family although she is the one who is most likely to cheat.
Starting Kindergarten has been a breeze for Lucy. It helps that her preschool was so wonderful about teaching her all of the things that would be covered in this year. I believe she is one of the top readers in her class and her handwriting is very neat. Her teacher told me that she asks Lucy to write more sentences than the other kids because she knows she can do it. Lucy is a great listener to Ms. Dillow but we have been told, isn't a great first time listener to student teachers or the other staff who come into the room to help out. This is something she is working on and I know she will be better by the end of the year.
She likes to write her name in cursive but calls it "curfis"
She still says "welly" for very well.
I have been able to come in during Kindergarten center time to help out and it is really amazing how much all of the students have learned from September to February. It is also a lot of fun to see Lucy in her class and be introduced to her friends.
Lucy is not currently doing any swim, gymnastics or dance this year. She does go to youth group once a month and has also participated in music through church as well. I'm sure we will sign her up for swim soon so she can familiarize herself with water safety again.
She has gotten a little bit better about going to bed when lights are out. She usually goes to bed around 8:30 pm and sometimes will try to sneak downstairs to see what we are doing or say she is thirsty but she has come a long way with this. Most of the time she is awake by 7 am on school days and 7:30-8 am on the weekends.
Lucy's favorite foods are macaroni and cheese, pizza with the big tomato (Monical's), peanut butter sandwiches and any type of candy that is fruit flavored or a sucker.
