Nicknames: Kenna, Nenny, Nenner, Nenner Benner, Nen, Buddy, Peanut
Weight & Height:Still off the charts for height and weighs somewhere in the low 50s. A lot for her age, but not for her height. She is very proud of the fact that she is the second tallest girl in all of Kindergarten at Echo Hill (over 90 kids!)
Hair: Medium length blond hair (we finally got it cut!!!). It's so cute! Not sure why it took me so long to cut it! We are still (and probably will be for years) growing out her bangs! Right now we pull all of her bangs back in little barrettes or ponytails to keep it out of her eyes.
Favorite foods: She's not a picky eater at all. And she eats a ton. It seems like she's always growing (which she probably is given her height). She also loves trying new foods and takes great pride in the fact that she will try anything. There are very few foods that she will turn her nose up at.
Favorite Drink: She still drinks skim milk, water and watered down apple juice almost all of the time. I'm one of those strict mommies that doesn't think it's necessary for kids to drink obscene amounts of sugar in strawberry and chocolate milk everyday at school... therefore she is allowed to pick something besides just white milk to drink at school on one day a week and that is always a highlight :)
Favorite toys: Markers/pens and journals, her Leapster, and I can't really think of anything else. Honestly she spends most of her time making up games with Maryn using all the random items from around the house.
Favorite stuffed animal: Duckie
Favorite Books: Anything she can read by herself. Her reading has taken off since she started school and she is already reading at a level E . She enjoys the challenge. She also has taken an interest in chapter books and likes to have me read a few chapters to her each night. Currently we are reading a book from the The Tiara Club.
Bedtime: We start getting ready for bed between 7:30 and 7:45 and she is in bed shortly after.
Wake-up time: She has to be up by 7:50 in order to make it to school in time. She does well and wakes up on her own at about 7:45 or 7:50 probably on half of the days. The rest of the time I have to drag her out of bed... she still likes to sleep in :)
Naps: I think I can delete this category for her now...
Favorite person: Mrs. Agnew... she adores her teacher. Wants to be her when she grows up.
Latest Accomplishment: Reading with more proficiency and being able to write in almost complete sentences already! She can sound everything out and has the ability to write almost anything in "kindergarten" spelling! I love to watch her just sit and write in her journals and draw pictures to go along with her writing.
Likes: recess, her friends from school, playing in the snow, drawing and writing, singing songs from "Annie", Daddy's days off, the stories Daddy tells at bedtime, having her bed made, comfy clothes
Dislikes: the school's bread and cheese (it's processed cheese... we don't eat that at home), being scared (she gets nervous even by commercials on TV and covers her eyes at everything... hence, why we watch so little TV at our house)
Fears: Bad dreams and the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks". I took her to that movie with a friend and she was absolutely terrified and still is. We talk about it on a regular basis even though we saw it over 3 weeks ago. Daddy has to tell her a special story every night before she goes to bed and we say special prayers so she won't have bad dreams at night. I don't blame her... she's told us what some of her dreams are about and it's absolutely awful.
Favorite shows: Annie, Barbie and the Diamond Castle, Barbie and the Three Musketeers
Health: Makenna has been very healthy this past fall. I was nervous with her going to kindergarten and getting exposed to so much but she did well. She was sick with a virus of some sort twice within a few weeks of each other in October and then had a bacterial infection in her head around the holidays (lots of eye goop, cough, etc). Both were relatively minor though.
Interesting Tidbit: Makenna has her first loose tooth! Well actually it's been loose since Thanksgiving! Just recently it's gotten even looser but the darn thing just won't fall out. She is so excited at the thought of losing her first tooth! :) She also somehow chipped one of her upper middle teeth just before Thanksgiving.
