Who did this girl come from?

Wednesday night we had our Parent Teacher Conference with Charli Beth's teacher. Mrs. Graves is super sweet and adorable, yet she means business as well. She is exactly what CB needs this year to give her the push that she needs. Charli is doing wonderful in class, and progressing. Although, as most little ones at this age she needs help with her writing techniques and to learn to read more fluently. Her math skills are so wonderful to me. I am awful at math and for her it comes natural. I am so proud of the note that her teacher wrote saying how sweet Charli is to others and that she is a precious girl. That my friends, makes Momma proud!

Mrs. Graves has all of her students to make folders, to write a letter to their parents about their year so far and she gave us all sweet photos from their recent field trip! The letter was absolutely precious. It stated what they like about their year so far and what they do not like. This is where it got me and where I once again started wondering how this Girly is mine, "Dear Parents,

This is what I like about my first grade year. I really like homework (no she does not!) and math. What I do not like is recess, because I do not getting sweaty. First grade rocks!

Love,

Charli "


Getting sweaty?! Are you kidding me! That is what comes to mind for her when she thinks about not liking school. I died. Right there when her teacher read the letter out loud. This is the girl that longs so badly to be a cowgirl, yet she doesn't want to sweat! Haha! I am dying over how Girly she is. Where did she come from and how is she mine?

I swear this weekend I am going to take her outside to shoot a shotgun and roll around in the dirt. Geez!
