Millie at age 5



Words that describe Millie the best: determined, thinker, fun, social, smart, curious, tricky, creative, daring, excited, energetic, busy, feminine, friendly, negotiator


Favorite activities:
  • practicing cartwheels and handstands and the splits in the living room
  • drawing, coloring, & painting
  • printing and making copies to color (sometimes 20 at a time)
  • writing notes to friends and teachers by sounding out the words on her own
  • riding her 2-wheeler bike as fast as she can down the sidewalk and back
  • dressing up as Snow White
  • listening to fun music and dancing around the living room
  • playing make believe the she is someone else
Favorite foods: mac'n cheese, potatoes, lasagna, chinese
Favorite treats: brownies, cookies, 'smarshmellows', smoothies, and of course, bubblegum!
Favorite color: black, white, and all of the colors
Favorite Disney character: Tarzan (she has informed us that she LOVES him and she even wrote a letter to him this week!)

If she talked to you today, she would tell you...that she is 5, and she learned how to ride a bike in 2 days, and she knows how to skip "for reals" (followed by some skipping).

What we love and appreciate about Millie:
  • She is always willing to help out with younger sisters
  • Even at a young age, she loves to teach
  • She responds well to responsibility and respect. lately, she has taken on the responsibility of feeding the rabbits and she has done very well with this.
  • She loves Heavenly Father and Jesus. She wants to bear her testimony each month, and today she did it all by herself. Also, today, we found her crying in our closet because she had found a picture of Jesus that we had replaced. She was so sad that we had taken it down, and wanted all of the pictures in our house taken down until we had put Jesus back up again.
