Things are rolling along in the Nelson house. Grace is loving first grade. She's reading third grade-level books and really likes reading. She really likes her teacher and classmates. We had parent teacher conferences last week, and Mrs. Church (her teacher) had many wondreful things to say about Grace. She loves learning and is pretty independend and unafraid to speak up for herself. We were pretty proud of our little girl after the conference.
Grace is going to be Rapunzel for Halloween--her Grandma Colleen is hand-making her a dress. She's been on that kick ever since we went to see Tangled in the theater last winter. And she already has plans for next Halloween--she's going to be Luigi from Super Mario Brothers. Grace has recently gotten in to playing Super Mario World on our Wii--and it's amazing how much better at it she's gotten. The game fits her imagination well.
