Mckenzie

Mckenzie is 6, turing 7 in July. Being the only girl, she is very spoiled and very strong willed.

She is very precise, she likes routine and control. She doesn't like to be surprised with unpleasant things like substitute teachers or family members sleeping in on weekends.....

Kenzie started dance classes last fall. She still isn't sure she likes dance. We think it's because she's not the best, she says it's because she's the smallest girl in the class, even though she's one of the oldest. She has her first, and probably last recital in May. We'll have to see how it goes. We used to describe her as shy, but I think it's more that she likes her privacy. The only way I can get her to show me her dance is to purposely do a move wrong so she'll show me how to do it the right way.

She has become obsessed with the BYU gymnastics team. Who knows, maybe she'll be the first 7 year old to make the college team!!

She is doing well in school. She likes her teacher and her teacher loves her. However she informed me that she's ready for second grade. She has very little patience with kids her own age. She loves to play with little kids, like her cousins. She's such a little mother. And she likes to play with older kids, like our neighbors. Don't ask me why. It may be a control thing.

She's a good kid and we love her like crazy.
