Lumi: 7 Years, 1 Month

Summary
She seems really ready for school. She is ready to learn new things.

Leisure
She got a few stuffed animals for her birthday, which she is enjoying. A favorite toy is the "Incubaby" which hatches out of an egg.
17.2 she took a 2-hour downhill ski lesson in Vihti. She was tired and hungry by the end, and her legs felt stiff and uncomfortable the next day. But she got out there and did it, and had fun.
She also practiced skating in Nakkila.

Learning
She is enjoying reading, and right now we are reading "Tuesdays at the Castle", which has no pictures.
She enjoyed the book that Grandpa and Mama Dollie sent with the Lottie doll, and she read some on her own after we read it together. It might be her first chapter book on her own.
15.2 she got into the english program at the school!
26.2 she started peeling her own carrots

We are enjoying a few of the "Let's Read and Find Out" series.
