Megan


Megan is a great piano player. When she has a new song it doesn't take her too long before she has it conquered. She loves to sit down and play - especially if I tell her she doesn't have to practice that day. She has the best little fingers, it is fun to watch them fly across the keys.
Over Christmas we painted all the boards along the floor. If you look to the left of her, you can see the unpainted boards and the painted boards she is working on in front of her. Megan really wanted to help paint. She begged and begged! She thinks it is a great thing to paint. She did a great job helping us, not too many fixes that we had to do from where she painted. Now we move onto her multi colored room...

She got a dollhouse for Christmas that she also helped paint. This one was little more tricky in the small areas and with craft paint - but she did well. What mistakes we both made, I easily covered with white paint. It was fun working on it with her. I purposely selected the brightest colors that I could find at the store because I know that my Meg LOVES bright, flamboyant colors!

Megan decided one Sunday morning to start drawing some Nintendo characters on a white board. We have a book on how to draw them. Usually the kids will just trace them but she was able to look and draw. It turned out pretty cool. She has some great talents. I thought it was great to have something for her to do while I fixed her hair for church!

Megan received a character trait award at school that her classmates nominated her for, "Good Judgement"... the teacher tries to encourage them to see the good in each other. It is really good for this group of kids. They can be a handful. She loves it when I bring Emma into the classroom. All the girls go 'ga-ga' over Emma.
Megan is special girl. She love to mother all of us... especially Emma. She thinks it is great to have Emma sleeping in the same room with her.
We love our Meg.

I would like it if my girls would decide that they like to play! Unfortunately, I hear a lot of crying and complaining. Oh well, she must be like her mother just plain nice girl.

Hee hee now Becky you know how much moaning and complaining we both did about ANYthing our moms asked us to do... I am sure it is a test of our strength as well to have them play the piano!
