Mommy/daughter date

Belize and I have been in serious need of a date lately.  We had hot cocoa at Treat and went shopping at Trader Joe's for dinner supplies.  This girl is a kick in the pants.  She is vivacious, spunky, animated, and super sweet to boot.  She definitely knows her mind and is not afraid to speak up.  She's quick to make friends and quick to forgive.  She knows she is one of Heavenly Father's special daughters and always tries to choose the right.  She notices when I need help with the other kids and makes special efforts to include Rio even when she's with her own friends.  Belize continues to love everything that is school, primary, soccer, dance and family adventures.

  .  .  . and she's been rockin these sassy red boots almost everyday.  Also, she apparently got my oversized tongue. I love my Belize!  She is WONDERFUL!  But you don't have to take my word for it, I keep meaning to post her report cards:

Developmental Kindergarten- Miss Polselli
1st Trimester: "Belize is such a delight to have in class.  She has a spunky, fun attitude that makes everyone around her smile!  Socially, she is usually the leader of the pack and she has made many friends here in DK. Academically, Belize is at or above grade level in all standards.  Keep working on proper grip and the writing will continue to soar!  Great job, Belize!"

2nd Trimester:  "Belize has shown tremendous growth this past trimester.  She is reading away and loves to do so!  She is writing independently and doing wonderful with all her phonemic awareness.  We continue to work on her pencil grip and handwriting but she has come a long way so far!  Belize can now recognize all of her numbers and is counting very high! :)  Socially, Belize has many friends and her friendships grow stronger everyday.  You are amazing, Belize!"
