Seven year olds don't change all that much, month to month! Instead of milestones (first step! first word! first potty use!) it's updates on school and skills, which are milestones in a different way. Britton has been doing really well at school. We had a parent-teacher conference, and her teachers are happy with her adjustment to her new school, as well as her participation in class. Britton is keeping up on her homework and spelling words, and her handwriting is improving as long as she remembers to slow down. Just like her momma, she always wants to be the one to finish first! I've regaled her with stories of me rushing my schoolwork and losing points for careless errors, and I'm of course treated to eye rolls and heavy sighs.
Britton is participating in Robotics Club at school, and they meet once per week. She confessed this evening that she thought she would get to build her own robot, instead of the kits they provide. We had a nice talk about finishing what you start - she signed up for the club until December, so she needs to give it a good try until then. It's a good life lesson, and one best learned early.
Likes: reading, writing in her new notebook, coming up with song lyrics, Halloween candy, iCarly, Bunked
Dislikes: Barrett's 3-year-old mood swings, waiting for the holidays to get here (me too!)
