Nine & Feelin' Fine

 
 Sara is NINE today ... last year in single digits!  She shows more and more signs everyday of entering tween-dom.  Sara loves 3rd grade and says her favorite subject is science.  She's still really good at math, too, and she loves to read.  This past year, she has gone from allowing us to read chapter books with her once in a while to wanting to read on her own all the time.  She always have at least two or three books going at once.  We are also so proud that she is a shameless Cyclones fan!
 Sara enjoys being involved in Brownies, and soon will be in her first play, "Peter Pan."  She is Michael in the play, and has been busy practicing her 15 lines.  We're excited to see her on stage!  Of course Sara also loves her phone (which, to her dismay, is closely monitored by her parents).  Sara still loves to draw and do projects, and can spend lots of time just quietly creating.  She has recently shown an interest in learning to play the piano.

We celebrated over the weekend at Benihana, her request, and had a great time enjoying the show and the delicious food.  Sara ordered hibachi shrimp and fried rice, and then rainbow sherbert for dessert.  She left with a fully belly and a big smile on her face!
We are so proud of our smart, funny, helpful, kind, opinionated, greatest-ever 9-year-old!
