Right out of the gates, here she comes around the turn, Kindergarten beauty Danica Liv. Nothing is going to hold you back. Busy, feisty, smart, full of grit- you are ready to take over the school. You picked your outfit out, you knew what to do, you walked in like you owned the place and left me in your tracks. My little ponn, a kindergartener like that, the Principal better be on his toes.
Taking you to school you were so excited. Charli started yesterday, so you were all bent out of shape why she gets to go first, but not today. Today was your day. 4 years old, you want to be a teacher or waitress when you grow up, full of life ,and ready to get it done. You will ride on a school bus today, meet different teachers, have snack, hopefully poop and wipe yourself...but most of all learn something new, listen, and make new friends. I hope your compassion shines through and you make a great first impression.
When I left you, you were trying to act like you knew Razz kids and what to do...I'm not sure you have a clue what is going on but I know you will let me know everything and I cannot wait to hear every single detail! And I know you will tell me every single detail :) Missing you so much!
Kindergarten update: Day one was "not that good" you said. I didn't know you cried for Momma after I left. That was sweet honey. I hugged you tighter today and walked you and Charli out to the playground so I hope that made it easier. You did not want to get up today but you let me pick your outfit out, brush your teeth, and do your hair so that was easier than most mornings. Yesterday, you had a total wipe out on your bike so you are scratched up mess from shoulder to knee and it even looks like it hurts-poor girl. This all happened before you got to pick where we went to dinner...can you guess where? Moosey of course! You were already exhausted at school's end so everything else for you was probably a blur including your wipeout on your bike.
So you told me the best part was "riding the bus" but then that wasn't so good either... so I think I will wait and ask you again today. You told me you did not get in trouble which is great to hear. You made new friends, and you are smiling when you talk about a boy in your class- Oh boy! Then you told me that your gym teacher was not good and Charli chimed in that her teacher is different than yours because there are two now because one teacher said I cannot teach all these kids. I mean the things you pick up on! You did tell me that you like all of the kids at your table and when we went through the pictures you knew a lot of their names and the other ones you said, "I have no idea." You are too much Danica!
Oh and don't let me forget, you let me know that the bathroom is in your classroom and you have to knock and wait- to check if anyone is in there! Awesome lesson.
I am going to check day 1 as a success- especially because your teacher posted so many pictures and you look really happy! Mommy loves you- be a listener, be a learner, and be awesome! I will try again today to get more information especially because it is the weekend and you love the weekend!
I should mention that before you fell asleep last night, you asked "When I get bigger can I have coke and beer," then you asked about "vodka." Daddy and I just looked at each other not knowing if we really heard that right. You wanted to know why we get to have it, and you questioned all my rationale of why you can't, so at the end we all agreed that you can stick will Rootbeer, that was your suggestion. Oh Danica, my karma is hitting my right in the face. I LOVE YOU!
* month update: You did pee in your pants the first week of school at CARE. You tell me daily that you want to use your skip so as I was feeling helpless I went to pick you up early and you were at the wrong place! What a nightmare...but I can say as I am updating this a month later things have gotten better---- there are not more tears, you like going to CARE even when Charli isn't there, you just hate waking up in the morning.
*You asked me what a crush means and I told you it is when you like someone a little but more than others, maybe your heart beats faster when they are around or your hands get sweaty... to which you smiled and said "like when I'm around Daniel." OMG!!!!!--BTW he is a second grader.... and one other thing I should note is that you were all upset Charli got to wear an outfit you wanted to wear and you cried, "now all the boys will think she is prettier." I am shaking my head.
Oh and Baby Jake, you change him, hold him, feed him, even nurse him. You rock him in the rocking chair and you teach him too. You are the best teacher, you can entertain yourself for hours teaching---we just listen and laugh and when you catch us we are in big trouble!

Oh Danica your so fine....
Oh my sweet baby girl Danica. Now big sister Danica. There is not a moment where you don't have something to say, something to do, a different outfit on, some kind of snack, and the desire for gum, Slurpee's, icies, or ice cream. You are unbelievable. You are so full of life that I can't believe how much exuberance is packed in your solid as a rock little body. You are a truck. Beautiful light brown long hair, ocean blue eyes, dimples that can make anyone smile, and the cutest little voice full of the funniest stores. You are completely hilarious and I mean hilarious. You just cannot sit still it is impossible. You are like a news commentator and give us a play by play of life, everyday, you really do. I will never forget when you told Grandma that Jesus was killed for money and now people can't get married--- you were bawling-- not to mention the tears streaming down my face when Grandma asked me what kind of school I send you to- LOL! The other day you put makeup all over your face and came down to strut your stuff and said, " I look insane." Like that's a good thing LOL!
You have a photogenic memory and remember everyone's names, what they were wearing, where you were when you met them, what they said. I mean that is impressive to say the least.
You are the smartest 4 year old I know, fierce on your bike, a force in gymnastics, and still the funniest ice skater around. I am so impressed with just much of a sponge you are and your ability to feel other people's feelings. You are very curious and want to know the truth. You are full of questions and want to be the boss, but more than that you want to be just like your sister. You are so sweet, you just adore Charli. You want to dress like her, so you raid her closet, you want your hair like hers, so you wait to see what see does, you want to be at all her parties and play dates, and although you cry when you can't, I know she'd rather be with you. You evem knew all her moves to "Hey Mickey" just as well as her!
This was quite a spring 2019 for you. Finishing preschool 4, performing in your gymnastics recital, and becoming a BIG sister. That is right. Your prayers for a baby brother came true in May and you are the best big sister. Although being on top of your brother would still not be close enough for you! You want to hold him, and kiss him, and grab his feet, and be by him, and out your face on his face. It is safe to say you LOVE him. If you could sleep in the crib with him you would. I am so blessed to have my children love each other so much and want to be together all the time. Even when you are fighting, you still want to be with each other. I love it.
You don't give mommy or daddy a minute to think and although you can make my head spin I love you more for it. It makes you stand out from anymore else. You are fearless and kind, and trusting to a fault. You are still my baby girl afraid of sirens and thunder but not afraid of the biggest dog or the high bar in gymnastics. You don't like to follow directions, but in school you were clipped up and picked out of the treasure chest many times so you are doing it right sister.
You manipulate for gum and candy and seem to come up with your own spin on things, but I know you know the truth is important!
And now pronouncing Danica! The sample!
When AJ was born and you came to the hospital you started to cry and were only worried that I wasn't coming home. It is the only reason you don't want another sibling, " because then Mommy has to stay in the hospital and I don't want you to."
This summer you, Charli, and I took Reilly on a walk, to the court next door and you amde the comment. "how many times are you going to stop Reilly, geez?! I had to bite my lip.
Uncle Eric asked you who the President is and you answered, "Donald Trump but his is stupy!"
Nothing gets by you and nothing stays in your mouth either. No filter, no secrets, nada. You are nosy and you need to know what is going on repedidly at all times. Trust me when there is a secret to keep you tell me how many people you told, "but I only told, Daddy, Charli, and Grandma."
I can't keep up with you and your outfit changes and how you think you are in charge, still pretern cry to get your way, and complete make our lives a better place all day every day. I love you pee or are you poop LOL, you will always be my baby girl. I can't wait for you to start your elementary journey.
