Cambry 6 Years Old

I wrote a post about Cambry's birthday party, but I didn't write any details on her yet. So here is her belated 6 year old high-lights post.

Our sweet Cambry is such a joy and delight. I love watching her grow and learn. It is neat to have deeper conversations with her. She is so very thoughtful, smart, and considerate. She loves unicorns, princesses, and anything pink and purple.

She is definitely a rule follower. She will cut herself off of sweets if offered something and she thinks she has had too many.

She is very much a perfectionist.

She is very artistic and creative. I have been so impressed by her drawings recently.

When she started Kindergarten this year she knew a few sight words but definitely wasn't reading. Now she is doing such a good job reading! It is amazing how over the past several months she has come so far in the level of reading she is on. She really enjoys when we read her books as well. She of course loves all the girly books like Fancy Nancy, Pinkalicious, Amelia Bedelia, etc. She is a great student and enjoys school. She gets along well with the kids in her class. I usually go up to school about once a week or every other week to eat lunch with her. The first time I did I leaned in for a hug as I was about to say goodbye. She laughed nervously and said "What are you doing??" Haha. Such a teenager. 

More and more Cambry has become such a helpful big sister. She will help Colton with all kinds of stuff and help teach Lainey things. She will help with holding their hands through parking lots and try to talk them through things that they don't understand. She will initiate games like chase or hide and seek or other silly things and work hard to get them involved.

She learned to ride her bike without training wheels at the beginning of the school year. Most of the time she rides her bike home from school while I push the littles in the double stroller. Her newest thing she is determined to accomplish is swinging across the monkey bars.

She takes a combination dance class (tap/ballet/jazz) once a week and she is adorable.

Her favorite things to do at home are play with dollhouse dolls, play with baby dolls, build things out of magnatiles or legos, and draw/color. She also like games such as Memory, Zingo, and Spoons.

Cambry is such a talker at home. She still loves to tell long stories about imaginary characters. Especially in the evening once Greg gets home she is talking up a storm and we basically have to raise our hands to interrupt and get a word in.

She is all about skirts and dresses. Every single day.

Although she is still a picky eater, she has improved. She actually likes some of the things that I cook now. Her favorite thing is a broccoli sausage pasta dish that I make.

She loves playing outside with friends. One neighbor has 2 granddaughters that come over all the time, and there is also a 3 year old and a 4 year old girl (almost 5) on the street. We joke that their playdates are at least 5 hours long. The will be out there all day riding bikes, scooters, collecting leaves and acorns, jumping on the trampoline, etc.

Slow down time! I love the age Cambry is at but I don't want her to keep getting older. She is precious and has the sweetest heart. Just stay little forever. Happy birthday baby girl!
