Spotlight Spotlight

Julia just started primary and they asked us to put together a spotlight. I thought that it would be a good idea to do an extended spotlight on Julia here on the blog so that we could look back on it year to year and see how she's changed. Here is an interview I gave Julia today in her own words:

In addition here are some other things about Julia...
She knows all of her letters and letter sounds. She is asking words all day long. She can also write her name and spell Julia, mom, dad and Audrey.
She is left handed.

Julia gets very upset when she feels she is being treated unjustly. Time outs and going to our room are very dramatic scenes. She is always trying to negotiate her side and pushes her limits as much as she can. It's a good thing her mother is as stubborn as she is.

When Julia is nervous she talks ALOT. Her preschool, primary and dance teachers can confirm this fact. I am told she can make some really random comments in primary.

Julia starts walking around the house really fast when she has to go to the bathroom. I can ALWAYS tell when it's time to go.

She's starting to make jokes. Sometimes she is surprisingly funny.

Julia loves movies.

Julia has a very kind heart. Whenever I ask for a hug she never refuses me. She tells me many times a day that she loves me and she loves her little sister.

Julia loves her friends. She is always looking for someone to play with and just adores the friends that she has.

Julia has lots of energy. She gallops everywhere she goes.

Julia loves milk and peanut butter and honey sandwiches. I am certain she could survive on these two items alone.

Julia loves to go shopping with me. She is almost always great at the store.

Julia bites her nails terribly. I haven't had to trim them in years.

Julia is very attached to her Strawberry Shortcake blanket and cannot sleep without it.

Julia talks in her sleep.

Julia was made to be a big sister. She helps me with Audrey all day long, whether I want it or not.

Julia loves to sing. She catches the words to music so fast and is always listening for music. She'll often comment on the elevator music in stores.

Julia is not afraid of new experiences. She goes to primary, dance and preschool with lots of enthusiasm.

Julia is stubborn.

Her hair is naturally curly.

All of her toys are downstairs but she is too afraid to play down there by herself.

Julia doesn't enjoy dress ups all that much. I have to convince her to wear her princess dress which is very surprising considering her obsession with princesses.

Julia doesn't enjoy getting her hair done but hates it when her hair isn't fixed so she tolerates it.

She still takes a nap every day and often requests it. She naps better now than she did a year ago.

Julia cannot sit still in a chair. In fact just last night she fell out of a chair at a restaurant.

Julia doesn't like it when I'm mad at her. She tries really hard to admit her mistakes in a very positive way as to avoid punishment.
