Makena has a great heart and cares for others. She loves to help her brother and come alongside him. She'll help explain things and encourage him along. They are great play buddies.
There is a girl in Makena's class who can be described as, well, an EGR -- extra grace required. Makena is always kind and patient with her even though she's hard to be around. Her teacher has commended her on the way she treats this girl.
Makena loves individual attention from Mommy and Daddy. She can't get enough quality time with us. She's always drawing us pictures and writing us love notes. She will run errands with me just to spend time with me. She always comes back for a second hug good-bye and tells me she's going to miss me when she leaves for school (and sometimes before she goes to bed!). She is our happy homebody.
Recently, she has become one funny kid. Sometimes she's just being herself and other times she is trying to be funny. Either way, she cracks me up! We went to a birthday party yesterday and they took a silly picture. Check out Makena's face!
She loves school. The only bad days she has is when there is a substitute teacher (she loves her teacher!). She is doing great academically. She is still shy but she can be feisty too. She doesn't like when Daddy walks to pick her up from school on Fridays (she wants a ride home in the car). She gets upset, and RUNS all the way home.
Makena is the one who thanks me the most for the things I do for them. She thanks me for the special things I do for them (like an extra egg hunt or a craft project) to even the regular things I do for them daily like making dinner or putting something away for her.
