Leana's Half Birthday - 5.5 years old!

I guess when you are 5, being half a year older is a pretty big deal.  Leana was counting down the days until her half birthday and all day insisted on calling herself the birthday girl.  Her choice of activities for the day were: watching a movie, going bike riding, and going out to dinner at her favorite restaurant (Thai).

Her latest interests: Biking! She had a biking unit in PE and wants to ride her bike all the time (she went up a bike size too so she can move faster now).  Running! She is up to 40 miles of running with the school's running club (although she is losing some steam in the last couple weeks).  Swimming! She started swim lessons last month and was put in the most advanced group - our little fish!
Leana is also now officially a "Daisy" scout - the first step in Girl Scouts.  Lucky for us the troop got started just *after* cookie season, so we are all off the hook for buying tons of boxes.

She also still loves fairies and fort building and still plans to be a lion doctor and a professional fort builder when she grows up.

Favorite Leana quotes lately:
"How come kitty Mio never lays a baby?"
After hearing me remind Juju to hold my hand crossing the street: "you have to be careful Juju or a car will hit you and then Mommy will have to lay another Juju".

5.5!

After Leana made me tell everyone in the restaurant that it was her half birthday, the waitress was so nice to bring us ice cream to celebrate.
