Caitlin Kim 7 years

Just love reading through these posts. I have plans this summer to save them all in Google Docs. My mother wrote me handwritten notes each year on my birthday, and it's so nice to have a record of what life was like that year. You celebrated your 7th birthday at the American Girl store and had your first sleepover. You are so fun to hang out with (all things girly- pedicures, Nutcracker ballet, etc), and I just love being your mom!

Caitlin can...
help get her brothers ready to go. Such a big help to mom!

add and subtract quickly without fingers. And starting to read. Love it!

Feeding:
You have been eating a lot lately. I see our future down the line with grocery bills with you and your growing brothers!

Favorites are: Still popcorn. You also really love soupy doupy (from Jenny's: tomato soup with crushed saltine crackers), noodles, pizza, tacos, and bean burritos, all kinds of fruits, waffles. You still aren't a huge fan of sweets, except ice cream. You love ice cream!

Sleeping:
You go to bed around 8:45, and are definitely my sleepy head. If we aren't waking you up to go somewhere will gladly sleep in until 8 or later!

Loves:
dance and gymnastics to music

playing with Levi. You guys make up all sorts of games and imaginary play. I love it. Reminds me of my childhood with my sister.

riding your bike.

playing with your American girl doll or Hatchimal

Not a Fan of:
Still fighting with Levi. Always comparing. But we're working on it.

Wearing:
Clothes: still 6, but we're getting close to the next size

Shoes: size 12

You are blossoming into such an amazing girl. You have a big heart and make cards for people when you hear they are sick. You are so thoughtful and caring. I hope 2019 is a wonderful year for you, Caitlin. Looking forward to sharing lots more memories with you!
