We love you so much, Duchess!  You have had a fun year.  You did great in school.  Your teachers for Pre-K 4 were Ms Tori and Ms Clare.  You friends this year were Kennedy, Chloe, Kate, Charlotte and Keanne.  Your teachers reported that you were great at school- you played nicely, listened to directions, and worked hard.  The only thing you had trouble with was talking too much sometimes!  Your handwriting improved so much and you can write all your letters, both upper and lower case letters.  You know all your shapes, numbers and colors.  You have been a good big sister to Huck.  The two of you are learning to play more cooperativly and you are a little more accepting of the attention he needs.  You continue to play well with your big brother and you two come up with really fun imagination games.  You also like to play by yourself in your room sometimes, too.  (And you really DO NOT want Huck to go into your room!)  You had your first play dates without Mom there the whole time and loved every minute.  This summer your swimming continued to improve.  You continued to take dance, this summer it was both tap and ballet.  You LOVE clothes and shoes.  You'd be happy to get a new pair of shoes every day.  You prefer to wear dresses and skirts and like things fancy.  You are looking forward to Kindergarten! 

Daddy and I love you very much and are so proud of you!
