Mary Beth turned 6 1/2 last month. Here are a few things about our little girl:*She continues to be such an easy child to raise. She almost always has a huge smile on her face. Mary Beth cannot stand for anyone to be upset with her, and I can count on my hand the number of times she has been in trouble in years.
*She is full of life, joyful, hilarious, dancing, singing. Mary Beth's deep throaty laugh is infectious. Other than her immediate family, her two favorite people are her best friend, Whitney, and her cousin, James.
*A new trait that has emerged this year is a desire to be helpful. She anticipates needs and will pop up to help whoever is in the room that is in the middle of a task. Her room is the cleanest of the kids' rooms, and you never have to tell her more than once to clean up any mess. Yes, our little Mary is turning in to quite a Martha!
*Mary Beth is as tough as nails. I'm sure some of this can be attributed to having two older brothers, but she can fall down and skin her knee, be at the bottom of a wrestling pile, get kicked in the shin at soccer, and take it all in stride. She is a VERY low drama little girl.
*Her hair is usually a mess after school. She is a halo of curls that pop up all over her face. She loves for me to flat iron her hair, which I try to do during the low humidity months. I still love her messy curls. They seem to suit her best!
*Mary Beth has gotten a lot taller recently. Her legs and arms have grown long and thin. Those long legs have helped her get quite a bit faster. She is definitely faster on the soccer fields this spring!*Mary Beth loves to draw. She has gotten quite creative this year. She has beautiful handwriting and has improved so much with her drawing. She loves to write poems and most things she draws has the word "Love" on it. Hearts, flowers, and peace signs are usually all over her work as well!
*She continues to have very mature tastes in food, and likes everything but potatoes! Yes, she can eat oysters, mushrooms, tomatoes, guacamole, every veggie presented to her, etc, but will balk at eating mashed potatoes!
*Mary Beth loves school. I have never heard her once ask to stay home. In fact, she has been so healthy that she has only missed one day of school this year (the day we went to Alabama)! Her favorite part of school is reading. Her favorite book at the moment is Miss Daisy is Crazy.
*She had never wanted to pray out loud at home until this year. She always remembers to pray for three of our friends who have cancer.
*Pedicures are the greatest thing ever for Miss Mary Beth. I made the mistake of getting a pedicure while she was in school a few weeks ago. It was a rare showing of tears when she found out I had gone without her. It was so upsetting, that her Nana took her to get a pedicure last week. All is now right in the world again!
So that is our ray of sunshine at 6 1/2! What a blessing she is to us!
