My DD6 definitely made some major leaps in her physical development this year. After refusing to get on a bike since birth, she is now riding (with training wheels, but she's on it!!!). Two days ago she figured out how to swing without being pushed. I know that these may sound like minor accomplishments but for her this development is HUGE!

She's still cutting up fashion magazines, however, just before she fell asleep tonight she said, 'I think I'm almost done with the magazines'. And yesterday she wrote a short book (that did involve a fairy in a fashion show). Usually she just writes a couple of sentences per page, but this one was full pages of text. So, thanks Seventeen Magazine, your summer romance and beauty advice have somehow dramatically improved my DD's writing skills. I wonder what Cosmo could do?

And... DD is 6.5 early Jan baby
