Amelia turns 8

Amelia turned 8 this year! It also marks 8 years of living in our house. For her birthday I took her on a shopping spree. We started by getting a cold drink at Starbucks in the mall and then preceded to hit up several stores. Some of the things she got were basic summer items that I wrapped up into the shopping spree, she didn't seem to notice. Her favorite store was probably Claire's in the mall. She got 7 different things including rainbow poop emoji earrings and a giant box of nerds. At the end of it all we stopped by McDonald's to buy her a happy meal, something she rarely gets but loves. It was a fun day for her. To top off her b-day celebrations Mrs. Stephanie is taking her to get a pedicure; which Amelia LOVES! I am glad that Mrs. Stephanie will do that since I do not like too.
Right now Amelia is a spunky carefree girl that likes to read, dance, swim, eat candy, and play with her brothers. She is a very smart little girl, both socially and book smart. She is conscious of others feelings and actions. She even asks her Dad and I how are day has been, without prompting and then proceeds to listen! Some of my favorite things to do with Amelia is to read her books, and make cookies                                                                                 with her. We are so lucky to have her as part of our                                                                                 family!
