.:Reece - Six Years Old:.

Reece turned SIX back in September. Six! How did that happen? I feel like I have blinked, and all of the sudden my kids are getting too old, too fast. But I am also loving each new stage and development with our kids.

Six year stats:

Weight: 43.65 lb (43%)

Height: 46.77 in (77%)

Reece is such a happy girl. She gets excited about just about anything, and it is infectious! I wish we could all be so happy and satisfied with life! There are definitely times when she can pull a little attitude, but for the most part, she is just great about everything.

Reece is so kind and helpful. She is always wanting to help me with anything - cooking, baking, the babe - whatever I need, she's usually my willing gal! She is also very kind hearted. She thinks about other people's feelings, and tries to be nice in most situations. Sometimes I feel like I expect too much of her, since she is the oldest, but Reece is so good to just rise to it.

Reece is in kindergarten and LOVING it. It is so fun watching her learn and grow. She is learning how to read, and it is fun to watch her make sense of everything. Reece loves to point out words that she knows in the scriptures, or wherever else she sees them. Makes my teacher heart happy! She is also super well behaved at school; at parent/teacher conferences, her teacher had nothing but wonderful things to say about Reece. She even said that Reece is her first recommendation to substitute teachers of students who will be helpful. Somehow I'm not surprised! She is a people pleaser (in a good way!) and wants to do the right thing.

Reece loves to play with Remi and Harper, but she is also starting to outgrow some toys in some ways. Her interests have broadened a bit to other things like Legos, perler beads, some video games, and art stuff. Not that she doesn't love playing with toys still, but she is expanding what she likes to do. She loves to be in charge of Rem and Harp, and sometimes I have to remind her that they don't have to do what she says. They are all pretty good about playing together most of the time, though, and I love that they love each other.

Reece is in dance this year, and is loving taking jazz and ballet with some of her little buddies. I can't wait for her recital after Christmas! She is very creative, and has a wonderful imagination. She often makes up her own dances and songs, and likes to perform them for us.
