Kendall at 8


At eight Kendall...

...loves school

...definitely has the teacher gene.  Do doubt she's destined to be a teacher.  All she does is play school.  She's converted their play area into a classroom, teaches Brielle, makes worksheets, grades papers, hangs charts, graphs, and calendars, and has perfected her teacher voice.  This child can even navigate Word on the computer to construct tests and writing prompts.

...is taking jazz instead of ballet this year

...is doing amazing on the piano

...has two best friends: Hannah and Meredyth

...loves to sing (and usually does it well)

...wants to learn cursive and is always writing in fancy letters

...visits the writing center at school every day

...goes through reams and reams of paper at home from all her writing and doodling

...still doesn't like to sweat too much (but does like to play in the creek)

...will be an Odd Squad agent for Halloween

...reads chapter books independently

...is becoming more confident in math

...likes to cook

...loves tea parties

...is still a fan of I Love Lucy

...still an old soul  (She named her cat Ginger Rogers)

...is strong willed and stands her ground like her mama!

...wants to visit New York City

...is fascinated by US presidents, the White House, and government.  She doesn't know why there aren't class presidents in elementary school.  And she often reads books about presidents and The White House.  She's been paying attention also to the current presidential election.

...loves to swim.  She's planning to join the swim team this summer with her buddy, Hayden

...is trying to become a Who Dat but the Saints are making that tough to do this year

...likes State better than Ole Miss

...changed her favorite color to aqua

...gives her mama a run for her money every day (I know her strong willed temperament will pay off--later)

...loves her sister and her family

...is a blessing to this family!
