Ally has many nicknames in our family. I'm not even sure how some of them came to be. The 2 older kids call her "bugs". Wayne most often calls her "Angel Girl" I guess I'm the one that has a bunch of names for her. I call her "Ally Bug" "Ally Jayne" (this one is odd because she doesn't have a middle name. I think it sounds so much like my cousin Abby Jayne that it just flows off my tongue) "Jaynie" "Jaynie Girl" "buggers" so many. Poor girl, I hope she doesn't wind up having identity issues.
Ally is always up for a party (wonder where she gets that? hmmm) She is rarely afraid to try new things. The only thing that really scares Ally is scary people, so it's valid. Right? I love the innocence of youth. Ally is a delight to have around (especially when she's not whining)
This year we have gotten into camping and Ally really loves it. She loves campfires and finding things that are okay to throw into the fire pit. (should I be concerned?)
I think if I had to pick Ally's favorite thing it would definitely be swimming. She has always been a little fish. It's fun to watch Ally. She sometimes is in her own little world and it's entertaining to try and break in or just watch her playing. Truly one of my joys in life is watching Ally play
Ally would LOVE to have a dog. I am thrilled that our neighbor as a dog and that they are willing to share with Ally. We have fish for pets and that's good enough for me.
Ally started 2nd grade yesterday. I can hardly believe it. She is thrilled to have looped with her teacher from 1st grade, so she knows all of her classmates and teacher already. Let the learning begin!
