AN4 will be 5 this August. When people try to guess her age, we rarely hear anything under 6. She is very tall, very fast, and very strong! God has gifted her with great physical abilities. She dribbles a basketball while walking around the house, without looking at her hands, and thinks that is normal for a 4 year old! We dont tell her otherwise. AN4 loves art and music as well. Words that describe AN4: Sweet, affectionate, energetic, friendly, hilarious, light-hearted, go-with-the-flow, resilient, and a daddy's girl.
AN4's favorites: I am waiting to ask her to answer these for herself. Since she is out with Daddy at the moment, will have to fill them in later!
Ok... Allie has her answers!

Gorgeous, gifted children. You're lucky they let you teach them. My daughter would never have let me homeschool - when she was little she treated every instruction from me as an accusation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in! Your kids are beautiful ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute family. I wish my baby was laid back. He's going to be a handful just like his brother.
