Here are the current stats:
Weight: 56 lbs (approx 20th percentile).
Height: 52 inches (approx 40 percentile).
Maya is loving getting more grown up and is becoming quite a unique little person. She has a good sense of humor and is beginning make jokes and tell stories in her a voice that is distinct to her. She's very comfortable going her own way and seems to follow her own interests without much worry. She has strong group of friends, but seems to be comfortable moving between friendship circles and meeting new people.
This year she worked her way through a huge number of books. She read all the Harry Potter books, A Wrinkle in Time, Anne of Green Gables, and books from authors Roald Dahl, C.S. Lewis, and more. It's been fun to share some of our favorites and get to read some of the new favorites. Maya is still obsessed with graphic novels and reads the ones she has multiple times. It was so much fun to share the Harry Potter experience with her and then watch the movies together.
Maya had another good school year. She's enjoying her second year of Brownies with her mom still a reluctant leader. The finale for this year was an overnight where she bridged from Brownies to Juniors (think brown vests to green). She's getting more serious about her karate and is now an orange belt. And she started piano lessons this year and has made some great progress in her playing. She and her friends are discovering that boys have cooties so there is less and less contact with the boys. This year she also participated in Drama which seems to be a good fit for her. She also performed a magic show for the school's talent show which went surprisingly well. She's improved her tennis and swimming.
She and her brother still have a good relationship. He getting better at keeping up with her which is both good and bad depending on her mood. They love having dance parties and coming up with strange games that usually devolve into some sort of wrestling, chasing, or yelling. They are having fun together and we are having fun with them.
Maya is becoming more independent, but she still thinks we are pretty cool and we will ride that out as long as we can! Happy Birthday Maya!
