WOW!!!! DO I NEED TO UPDATE ON YOU!

Danica, the last time I caught up on All things Danica was your Communion which was a life time ago in your 8 years on Earth. You have finished 2nd grade and they let you move up to 3rd grade! Can you believe it, you Social Butterfly you! I can't evebn tell you just how busy you are, you would walk in to a pole or a building that is right in front of you for that matter listening to and watching other people. You are so fixated on others and can give a full report on so many people and things that went on I don't even know how you have time for school, learning, sports, or putting anything else in your brain! I mean I don't see how you won't be a sideline reporter or a news anchor! It is quite impressive when I look at it through this lens! Summer came and went, not without swimming and swimming and more swimming. Gymnastics and more gymanstics and more gymnastics. It seems like a lifetime ago that we had no cares and worries and just did what we wanted and spent way to much doing so. Epsecailly for little miss can we go to a restuarant, can we hang out with people, who are we going to see today. Every day is a party when your name is Danica Liv. 3rd grade has started with a bang, I am talking A+ on tests! Yes DANICA YES! I guess threatening you with staying in 3rd grade next year has really put a flame under your little buns. You celebrated, Well we ALL celebrated, you turning 8 in August. We invited all the girls in your class, some other class friends, girls from gymnastics and soccer and everyone came! Over 20 girls, for your SUPERPETS movie party! It was awesome and you were spoiled with so many amazing gifts I couldn't believe it. We have so many squishmellows, they and the America Girl Dolls really do need to start paying rent. I can't take it SMH. You started travel Soccer and WON the first tournament you every played! It was on your birthday and Coach Cesar made you the captian and let you pick out the trophy. It was the perfect day. You even scored 3 goals in the tournament or was it 2, we still can't figure that out! Sometimes I still wonder if you know what scoring a goals means LOL...baby stepr my dear babysteps. Once you get it, you will be UNSTOPPABLE, that I can guarantee! You have a tournament this weekend, GO SOCKERS! In Gymnastics you are now a level 3 almost 4 and you will have your first competition in a few weeks. I am wondering how much hardware will be filling up your room this upcoming year. I am also wondering when all of your teeth are coming in.... you have a crazy mouth of teeth in places that I didn't know way they go or where they should be. I can't help but laugh, you school picture this year sums is all up, no need for a retake! I mean some of the things you say or do we need a double take but that is what makes you , you, and I wouldn't change it for the worlD. I would like to improve on your hygiene and your eating habits but I guess that is part of being 8! Yes 8 you are 8! When schooll started this year you were 7 and the teacher had everyone fill out things about themselves. She then said to put 8 where it asks how old you are... you out 8. I asked why and you said becuase they teacher said too, and I said no she wasn giving and example- you are 7 so you have to put 7. On Danica, SMH! You love to ask Alexa about the weather every day, you love to call Grandma and talk on the phone. You love to talk over everyone who is talking and talk about everyone else. You get more gossip than US WEEKLY magazine, how is that even possible your school and our town are not that big! I mean you make everyone laugh, you are so animated, so goofy, so fragile and so compassionate. A drama queen with qauds of steal and the most gorgeous blue eyes. If you figure out your nutrition choices I can see you on the front a of fitness magazine...just gorgeous! Everyday you have a new story about someone, some days you like your friends sometimes you don't. Either way you don't miss a beat. You are as boy crazy as they come. OMG are you in for it someday sooner than later. In soccer you had to play goalie and it was the worst 10 minutes and 4 goals I ever had to live through, then this weekend you played it again and no goals went in! That is life...learning...and applying what you learn the next time. You are too busy to have us help you learn since you know everything but sometimes I can tell you are listening. I just hope you start listening more and eat your BREAKFAST so you are not a snacker all day. I mean you are addicted to candy, gum, sugar, I am not sure if you even like it or you just think it is COOL. "Let'Go!" That is what you say when you like something, just like the high school boys. I mean you kind of are like a frat boy. Like I said we are so in for it! I am proud of all you accomplish in that little body of yours. You are starting to sleep in your own bed, (it took Sarah bribing you with a candy jar) Your teeth and hair are lookign better. You have to be reminded to shower. I am not sure what is going on with your nails. I told you that until you can take care of yourself no earrings. I was going to let you get them pierced Christmas in Florida but we will have to wait and see...until then clip ons will do! The last one out from everywhere, "bye so and so, see you later so and so bye Mrs. Bye Dr." I mean if you could memorize your times tables like you memorize names you'd be a math genius. Baby steps I keep telling myself baby steps. Thank you for being my middle, for copying and annoying your sister, for bothering you little brother all the time, for feeling left out, for never wanting to be alone. For your constant touch and need for attention. For you snappy remarks back, for being bossy, and then for being so sweet, little, and loving. Thank you for your humor and making us all want to piddle in our pants a little. Please lets try to improve on that. Goal for being 8, hygience and cleaning your room. You love to teach in your room not you need to like to be with just you in your room. I love you so much Danica the destroyer dumpster... my little pona roana. Life would never be the same if you weren't in it. You have made my heart bigger than I every thought possible. I am sorry I am so hard on you, I just know that once you get it....Charli and the world better watch out. YOUR BIGGEST FAN! Mom LOVE YOU FOREVER
