Lumi: 7 years, 5 months

Summary
She has finished up with preschool. We may take advantage of the daycare in the few days before school starts in August, but basically this phase of her life is complete.

Social
She has a few friends, but is more attached to adults right now. She loves Otso, and enjoys playing with him.
She loved staying home with Grandpa and Mama Dollie while they were in town. They read a bunch of books and played board games.

Leisure
5.6 after much badgering, she agreed to ride her bike to daycare. and she loved it! it's a nice breezy downhill ride.
9.6 she tried again to ride the 20 inch bike, and really enjoyed it! Now it looks like she is riding a properly sized bike with 3 gears, and she loves it.
We started a new book series "Zoey and Sassafras" and she enjoyed it.
She loves money. She loves to count how much money she has, and tell everyone about it. She got a lot of pocket money from Grandpa and Mama Dollie, and she counted it over and over like Scrooge McDuck.

Learning
Her reading is really coming along and is smoother every day. I have not been able to find another series that really captivates her like the fairy books used to do. Junie B Jones was a bit interesting, and she likes Zoey and Sassafras, but neither were enough to make her beg to get more.

Language
Not much change here; she speaks easily in both Finnish and English.

Health
It shows when she doesn't get enough sleep. She clearly needs a lot, and when she is tired, she gets really spacey.
