Peeking in a few days early...

Hi,

My daughter Alyson (Aly) is turning 10 on December 26, so I'm poking in a little early. I recognize a few of the names around here and hope they remember me, too. I've been on every "age" board since the one-year-olds (1998) and even co-led the 2s & 3s way back when.

Aly is my only and I am happily married to Mike (11½ years now). We live in south Louisiana. I am a teacher (6th grade this year). Aly is in 4th grade, is a Junior Girl Scout, a first-year 4-Her, and a Junior Master Gardener. She is VERY much into nature--animals and plants (but we don't own any pets because I'm the mean mom I guess--at least that's what my students tell me). We like to travel and LOVE Disney (some of you I also know from the Disney Vacations board that I also frequent). We usually visit some sort of zoo/aquarium/nature center/park on our trips.

We've already celebrated her birthday with friends--we took 6 girls to see Charlotte's Web and to get ice cream afterwards. We'll celebrate with my husband's family on Christmas day, I'm making a puppy dog cake.

On her birthday, she chooses a place to eat and she's also requested to see Night at the Museum. We have an IMAX theater about a hour and a half away, so we may go there as a special treat.

Alysha

Hey Alysha,


Welcome and happy birthday to your DD. Now where have I run across you before? I remember your name. Only child board? Hmmmm. LOL Ivillage is like a small world, we all seem to run into each other somewhere along the way.


Anyway, just for a refresher, Kristen is 11.5 and in Grade 6. So far so good on the home front, school has been a challenge this year with a teacher with no class control, but she's still getting straight A's so can't complain. Looking forward to getting to know you again and Aly too.

Thanks Tam! I think it was the 8/9 board and you were leaving as I was coming. At least now, we have 4 years on this board...lol.

I don't know that I'll be able to break my ties with the 8/9 board too fast. And you'll still see me on 4/5/6 grade and Scouting/Guiding/4-H.

Thanks Cathi.
