Libby turned eight this week. That went fast. Again, picture will be forth coming.
Libby is doing well in second grade. She does well at math. She reads like crazy. She has read all of the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" book since Christmas. She can read one in an afternoon. She will read almost anything, I don't think we have found a type of book she doesn't want to read yet. She is really good in any class that she is in.
She loves playing with friends and is really good at making sure that everyone is included and has someone to play with.
She is a great help around the house. She can get Syd out of her crib, I don't always want to go all the way down the stairs to get her! She is really good at helping with dishes and vacuuming and cleaning up around the house. She is good at playing with Sidney and Henry and can't wait for another sibling.
She has been taking piano for over a year now and is doing really well!
Her favorite colors are pink and purple.
Libby always has a big smile and loves to be tickled and laugh and generally have lots of fun.

I figured it out!
As kids we are always amazed at what our mom can remember. Birth weight, exact time of birth, everyone's birthdays, who has what homework to do, who wears what size clothes and shoes, favorite colors, all that stuff. But then we laugh at them when they can't find their keys.
I now know why they can't remember the easy stuff.
You never know when the battery on your car is going to go out and now you need a code to make your radio work again. Where is the card with the code on it? Never mind that we have moved since then and it has almost been 4 years, I should know where it is.
My brother is fixing some plumbing things at our house. He needs to turn the main valve off. It isn't budging, he has tried two different keys. I have to remember if we have ever managed to use that valve and did it work like it was supposed to. The answer, yes, it works, we used it this summer.
You never know when someone will ask you a crazy question and expect you to recall all the details. My keys, my purse, my phone, the kids can look real fast and find them. Or thankfully with phones you can just call it. Easy to fix. The other stuff not so much, so that is what we try to fill our brains with.
Did I ever mention we did finally find Henry's karate picture from last year, we now have this years too!
