You love to build things with your mom, decorate your room, play Barbies, color, and read. You also love to dance, do gymnastics, and watch YouTube. You are a little fearful of new activities, but you set a goal for yourself this summer to slide down a waterslide, and you did it! I'm so proud of you for pushing yourself to try new things. You are still an adventurous eater. You are very intuitive of others feelings, and are eager to share. I wish I were as generous as you! We love you and are very proud of the person you are becoming.
