Gianna at 7 Years Old

Loved her 1st grade year at St. Stan's and is looking forward to 2nd grade.

Her highest grades were in spelling, and she said her least favorite subject was math.

Always loved library day.

Can be shy and intimidated by new places and new faces, but loves such things once she gets a chance to warm up to both.

Doesn't want to forgo the training wheels on her bike quite yet. 

Is one to play it safe;)

Is getting better at keeping Ella on task (or getting her to do what she wants;) 

without making her too mad... although there are also many days this is still very much a work in progress;)

Is a good example when it's time to clean up.  

Will often do what she is asked without too much resistance.

Likes to organize with mom;)

Seems to have a personality similar to her dad.

Like to act silly at times and likes to be called a silly goose.

Is turning into a very responsible and reliable helper.

Likes to step up to help care for Nathan, and he is more willing to let her.

Likes craft projects, barbies, board games, her American Girl doll and playing outside.

Needs a good night's rest and usually goes to sleep and stays asleep with no trouble at all.

Favorite color is purple.

Favorite foods are cereal and macaroni.

Favorite activity is playing with her friends!

Favorite season is summer.

Favorite sport is T-ball.

Still has a hard time going in any room by herself.

Doesn't require too much alone time in her day.

Likes to be with someone pretty much all the time.

Likes to read and write and is getting more and more independent with each.

Is greatly loved and puts a smile on our face everyday!

We love you Gianna Marie!!
