Paigerade is five! She's catching up to her sisters and able to keep up with them.
Paige is one spunky little girl. She has more sass than she needs, but it's mostly a fun thing and keeps us laughing. She has opinions she's not afraid to share and, at times, with an attitude.
Paige absolutely loves gymnastics. She asked for a gymnastics bar for her birthday and has already spent a lot of her free time on it. She loves doing cartwheels everywhere she goes. She does them randomly in the parking lot, the store, the house, at church, you name it. You have to watch out cause she's not the best at watching out for you when she does them. And I have to remind her that the floor is gross in most places and not to do it but surprise that she doesn't really listen to that.
Paige has loved going to preschool. She was excited for it to start for her this year. Her best friend is in her class too and that makes it even more fun for her. She has learned a lot already and I am so impressed with how smart she is. Just ask her to spell waffle house haha.
Paige loves playing with her sisters. She still occasionally asks when they will be home from school so she's not the only one home with me. They like playing outside together, doing nails, watching movies, playing with barbies, making bracelets, and drawing. Paige lets Hayley do her hair more than she lets me. Although she has been better about that recently because she wants me to do her hair like her "bestie, Hazel."
Paige loves being fancy. She will ask me if she can wear some lipstick just about every day. She likes having her nails done and she enjoys dressing up. She changes her clothes throughout the day sometimes still. It's a good day when she stays in the same outfit all day, less laundry for me.
Paige likes to eat chicken nuggets, especially from Chick-Fil-A. She likes to get slushes from Sonic. She enjoys ice cream and cookies. She isn't the best at eating dinner. It's hard to get her to eat a full meal at dinner time. She will eat the minimum and then be done, even if it means skipping dessert.
Paige is wearing 5T clothes. She has a longer torso so her 4T shirts have been kind of small for the past couple months. Sometimes I have to size up in shirts before pants. She loves clothes and shoes and accessories. And she loves anything with sunflowers since I call her my sunshine.
Paige has finally (knock on wood) been going to primary without crying! Thanks to her amazing teachers mostly. She was even crying at the gym sometimes when I'd drop her off at the childcare. Hopefully it's all in the past. I have honestly mostly enjoyed her being my little shadow, but it had gotten harder with her being older. She doesn't snuggle with me as much as she used to, and that makes me a little sad, but she lasted longer than her other two sisters.
Paige has been a good big sister. I think it helps that she's five years older than Josh. She would kiss my belly every night before bed while I was still pregnant during the last half of my pregnancy with him. She is very sweet to him and it makes me happy.
