Ashlyn is now 8!!! She enjoyed a nice birthday party at home with friends this year, and even her teacher, Miss Early, came to join the party! They had a blast making wind chimes and acting out the song "Let It Go" from the extremely popular movie, Frozen. Great times and good friends! Ashlyn was very excited to get a ukulele for her birthday this year!
Her friends were: Ellie Isaacson, Aimee and Erinn Varga, Paige Safly, Abigail O'Rear and Miss Early.
Here are a few things about our 8 year old, Ashlyn:
- still a very energetic, bouncy little girl and a delight :)
- very talented musically. She continues taking piano lessons from Miss Val, but a new addition this year is a focus on writing her own music! She creates many songs in her head and now works to get those songs on paper, both by writing them herself and using a computer notation program. She also has discovered the joy of singing harmony! I enjoy listening to what she comes up with!
- has a new passion for drawing and art. She has received some encouragement from friends at school regarding her drawing, so that has helped her to gain some confidence in this area.
- enjoyed playing basketball for the first time this year and continued with Daddy's volleyball clinics
- some other firsts this year are her musical theater class and the worship dance class at church
- still very aware and in tune to others' feelings. Can be very sensitive at times.
- she's in her 2nd year of allergy shots. :( Hopefully we'll be seeing some improvement soon.
So, that somewhat wraps up my crazy, sensitive, musical, artful, athletic, smart little girl! We love you, Ashlyn! Happy Birthday!!
