Elizabeth at 9!

Elizabeth is 9!

She is 58 pounds and 4' 4" tall. She usually sleeps about 9-10 hours a night. She doesn't do that weird sleepwalking thing much anymore.She usually goes to sleep at 9:30 or sometimes 10:00. I wake her up in the morning for school around 7:30. 

She likes school much better this year. There are not as many disruptive kids in her class. Last year, there were 30 kids in her class. They added another class this year, so she only has 18 kids this year. She leaves for school and comes home happy. 

Her favorite foods are bacon, noodles, mustard, chicken and yellow rice, burritos, mac and cheese, eggs,  and hershey kisses. This is mainly what she eats. She doesn't like any vegetables. She likes a few fruits.  She does not get a lot of variety in her diet and she refuses to eat most foods. Therefore, she continues to be quite thin! 

Her eczema is still a problem. However, we've been using a steroid cream more this winter that is really helping. We don't like using it every day but she has been and her skin is much better. She is still only allergic to peanuts, sunflower seeds, and hazelnuts. No new allergies thank goodness! 

Her favorite subject at school is art. Her least favorite subject is PE and testing. Her favorite books to read are The Land of Ellen series and American Girl books. She is an excellent reader and does very well in math too. Overall, her teacher has no complaints and Elizabeth does very well across the subjects. She is still obsessed with rocks and has a habit of constantly picking up rocks

She enjoys playing with Nathan. They still play lots of imaginative games together.  Some of her favorite games are My Little Pony and Blob Sports. 

Some of her favorite friends are Charlotte, Josephine, Piper and Adrianna. She loves playing with her little friends. She has no shortage of friends and seems to like everyone as long as they aren't naughty in class. 

She is extremely active and never stops moving. She just doesn't ever sit still! She hasn't wanted to try many sports. She does take tennis lessons once a week. She considered softball, but due to the fact there are sunflower seeds EVERYWHERE, she said she doesn't feel safe knowing how sensitive she is to those. 

She loves to play with Lego Friends, My Little Ponies, her stuffies and her squishies. Her favorite color is teal. We recently painted her room teal and for her birthday Gram and Auntie Laura decorated her room with teal.
