Just some stuff about Caelan:
*She started rookie baseball (her first time ever playing). She has really enjoyed going to the practices. Her favorite part is batting practice, and she has really whacked it a couple of times (that machine pitcher is really fast).
*She is currently slightly obsessed with a couple of Taylor Swift songs: "You Belong With Me", and "Our Song" - a couple of friends started singing to these songs while we were driving to baseball practice, and she didn't know them at all. So, she's been asking to listen to them everyday (multiple times) and now she sings them out.
*She is a really good eater. Even when she doesn't like a food (mostly certain vegetables) she'll eat several bites and ask me if that's good enough. I NEVER have to fight with her about eating - NEVER have. And she'll try almost anything.
*She had her very first sleep over a couple of weekends ago with her friend, Kayleigh Edwards. Those girls were begging and begging, and I finally caved. They played in the jacuzzi and watched "Tangled" and ate french toast outside on the deck in the morning. They had a blast.
*Caelan is very motivated with her "Daily Responsibilities" chart. It includes things like: practice piano, do chore, clean room, read scriptures, etc. Once she fills in 35 boxes (the total if she did every single thing for an entire week) then she gets to pick something from the prize box. She has already picked two things and is well on her way to a third....while her brother and sister are barely past their first thing.
*One of the songs assigned in her last piano lesson was "Yankie Doodle" - she has played that song over and over and over again. She loves that she can play it so fast now.
