What up buttercup?

So much is going on for Miriam these days! She started Kindergarden with Mrs. Jaderquist and loves it!  Sometimes it can be hard to learn what she has done at school, but I really enjoyed picking her up after work and asking her about the things in her backpack.  It took a long time to find out, but I guess she's made a little friend named Gwen.  She has no problems going there.  She picks up on the routines right away.  It can be hard to get her to try new things like writing a lower case r instead of a big R.  I wonder if she does that at school?

This year she was a unicorn for Halloween and she wants a unicorn birthday party.  She wanted a unicorn birthday last year until a month before she decided she wanted pirates.  We are having a carnival birthday party with Gideon this year but I think I will try to have a unicorn pinata and another game so she feels happy about it.  I am so pregnant I wasn't going to plan anything, but I'll foot half the bill for this party and we can have lots of friends come.  We just found her Unicorn Stompeez from last Christmas, maybe she'll wear them at the party!

This summer Miriam got her first loose teeth (her two bottom ones)  when I discovered it she was very upset.  But she got used to the idea and got a new toothbrush from the tooth fairy.  Now she has two big kid teeth comnig in and I think she will be okay with more loose teeth.

For Miriam's birthday Daddy has been making her armor.  Since she will be 6 years old she can do youth combat (Boffer fighting).  She says she would like to do it and Daddy is supposed to help her practice.  Her armor is pink (sometime in the last few months her favorite color went from Blue to Pink).  with a pink helmet and pink sweater.  She likes it, and I hope she will like fighting like Dad does.
