Natalie has had a couple big things happening lately. Kyle and I went to our first ever parent-teacher conference for Natalie not long ago. Natalie's teacher told us she is doing awesome(duh)! Natalie is such a good reader that she goes to one of the first grade classes every day for reading and her first grade teacher has said that she is one of the best readers in his class as well. Her teacher also told us that she's putting Nat into a gifted program for math. She catches onto things very quickly and has a very very good memory, it's crazy. Her teacher also told us she appreciates that Natalie helps other kids in the class who are struggling and teaches them without doing the work for them. Way to go Natalie!
Nat has also been taking piano lessons and loves it. She has an awesome teacher and looks forward to her lessons and even practices without being asked! Last Friday she had her first piano recital. She played "Ode to Joy" and "Jolly Old St. Nicholas"(if you've been to our house in the past month she's probably played them for you too haha).
This is Natalie on the night of her recital. If you look really close you can see another first for her.
Natalie lost her first tooth!
She had been wiggling that tooth forever! Friday morning she had a dentist appointment and I told her that if she wanted the dentist to pull it out he probably would. Well before we left for the appointment she was brushing her teeth and it popped right out! She has been so very very excited about this and is showing off her new smile to everyone.
