Anna does not have the ability to walk through a room, she has to skip. (She gets that from me but, my mom tells me I would cartwheel through rooms.)
I asked Anna once to stop skipping to see how long she could go without skipping. She made it about 15 feet before the skipping began again.
Anna thinks that your age is a direct correlation to the number of times you've been to the emergency room. I should start a little bank account to cover her annual emergency room deductible. (She might get this one from me too.)
Anna is a little carpenter girl. Her and her dad disappear to Lowe's and then to the garage,where the girl stores her own power tools. She is awesome, she made Mark a pencil holder for his desk that was beyond cool.
Anna has angry eyes that make me chuckle.
Anna thinks she can tell Mark and I what to do. Not that she tries to sneak it past us, she just blatantly tells us how she thinks it should go. We have to catch ourselves every once in awhile and tell her no.
Anna is a tom boy and barbie girl rolled up in one. Anna probably owns 30 barbies and a Barbie house that is as big as she is. ( Honestlly, I am jealous about this, I would have loved to be her friend growing up. I had brothers that weren't the kindest to my "girl toys.")
Anna is nobodies monkey. Anna will never preform on cue. This is how she was even when she was really small, there is no way she is here to entertain you if you ask her too.
Mark claims Anna is the funniest person he knows. Now that is a compliment, he doesn't think too many people are funny, not even me, and I am hilarious.
And when Addie or I am upset by something. Anna is the first one there to give us a hug. Anna saved my life once and for that I will be eternally grateful. She is so sweet to me and I am blessed to be her mother.
Anna turned 6 on February 24th. She had ice cream for breakfast, Ikea meatballs for lunch and got to have ice cream with the best primary teacher ever. I think she had a pretty great day.
