I love this girl. She is crafty, smart, dedicated, and such an introvert. She decided to try out soccer this year, which had its challenges and blessings. It was fun to see her play on a team. She continues taking tennis lessons, ukulele and piano lessons, and is on the math and chess team at school. She loves her reading teacher (Mrs. Major) and checks out a new book from her library every week. Kate has learned to wear contact lenses this year thanks to dads help! She recently started going to YW and has done a few activities without her little sister near by. I've been told she has a "lot of energy"- which is true. I think she bottles all her energy up until the end of the day. Kate is definitely testing the boundaries with her father. She has a tendency to talk back or annoy her sister when he is around. For me, she has been quite helpful. She has started dinner for us, made dinner for us, or made sure we have dinner plans. She has the gift of making good cookie too. Definitely a Koplin trait!
I feel like I am not ready for her to advance to middle school, but it is coming soon. I am grateful she had 6th grade in elementary school. Kate is ready. She let me know she is ready to go to a larger school and participate in more after school activities. I am just going to miss my sweet little girl who made me a mommy.
I love you Kate. Happy Birthday!
