Annie Update

Annie is almost three and a half and very precocious (as she recently told a friend of ours). She loves being mommy to her dolls and helping me "watch" Sophie. Reading is her favorite activity. She has lots of her books memorized and she likes to "read" them aloud to us and whoever will listen. Her current favorites are Fancy Nancy and the Berenstain Bears. We've also discovered a picture book adaptation of the Little House series and she enjoys getting those from the library. When she is not tired at bedtime, she asks for a stack of books and sits in her bed and looks at them until she falls asleep.

Annie loves to memorize Bible verses and her catechism--she is definitely a little sponge soaking up whatever instruction we provide. She frequently regales us with song, very enthusiastically and usually very off-key. She enjoys having grown-up conversations. At dinner she is always sure to ask Daddy "how was your day?" She likes to sort and count things and is very orderly in her play (which sometimes leads to disagreements with her siblings).

She keeps us on our toes, but how we love our independent, feisty little blonde girl!
