Haleigh is 5 1/2

Haleigh is 5 1/2 now and started Kindergarten at the beginning of September. She is so much fun to be with and has really grown in her thinking/processing/listening recently. She still loves to build things, but also likes to read, to play with Lydia and to play 'phone' (where she literally walks around the house with a toy phone and just talks on the phone!) Haleigh loves school and gets excited every night to make her lunch and get her backpack all ready. We spent quite a bit of time trying to learn how to ride a bike this summer, but that's still a skill we haven't mastered. She also took swimming lessons and we have a lot to learn there too!

Sleeping: Haleigh shares a room with Lydia and sleeps on the top bunk. She recently stopped sucking her thumb (yay!) and likes to sleep with her purple bunny. They prefer the sound machine to be off and the light on, but in reality, they sleep better when the lights are off and the sound machine is on! Bedtime starts around 7:00 with a goodnight story, and then the girls all get to read together until about 7:45 when they get tucked into bed. 

Activities: Haleigh loves school! They have access to a reading program online call Raz Kids which Haleigh loves to do. She takes a hip-hop dance class, likes to watch Llama Llama on Netflix, and likes to color. Currently, we are working on breaking the bad habit of putting everything in her mouth- she is always sucking on her hair, licking her fingers (or whatever she is holding!) Haleigh is an excellent big sister and loves to play with Lydia. She has also been super helpful in getting potty trained!
