Oh my girl, you are officially 9 years old! Your last single digit year. Hard to believe we are here already. I've spent some time looking back at old pictures recently. You've spent the last 8 years living overseas and now are getting ready to leave everything you've ever really known to move to the USA. We are all excited about Texas but this will be a huge change. You are the one kiddo that is really riding the fence on whether this will be good or not. We talk about the fun things that are available in Texas and you come back to leaving your friends. I know good things will come. You'll even be able to reconnect with your old bestie-Asa. That conversation brought a smile to your face. I think you needed the social connection.
You are finishing up 3rd grade. You've mastered your multiplication facts and are pushing through division. Math is work for you. You have to put in the extra time which is frustrating, but we continue to tell you, everyone has "their thing." Reading is easy, you do it with ease. Your class got crayfish this spring and you've really enjoyed observing and tending to them. Ms. Zander tells me you need one as a pet. I'm not so sure I can handle another critter. LOL
Gymnastics is your love. You've moved up two levels this year as you recently passed the evaluation for level 3! We are very proud of you. You also participate in a crossfit class with your best friends each week. You think you'd like to learn piano or violin, so that will be something we look into after we get settled in Texas.
You are wearing size 8 clothing. Thankfully, you and Claire can share so that means more clothes for both! Your hair is mostly brown, eyes are green and you have beautiful teeth! I'm praying no braces will be needed :)
Mya, you have a fabulous personality. You are social with all. You love to interact with others and have a heart of gold. You are a sweet, sweet spirit. Your infectious, wild side are still there. You love to laugh, play and create. We are so proud of who you are becoming. We couldn't ask for more.
We love you, Mya. God sure knew what we needed when he gave us you!
Happy birthday, 9 year old!!
