Pieper in July

Is loving the VBS for three hours a day.  Not so fun for the rest of us as she is tired when she comes home... preview for the fall with all day kindergarten.
Tells Peter she wants 'alone time'
Wants to build a house in the wood behind the house, by Alan and Jill (our builders), have 6 baby girls, marry Peter and Grandma and Grandpa need to move into Lucy's house. (our neighbor)
When we picked up the last of the school supplies( amount is ridiculous) She started to pack her backpack and included band-aids in case one of her classmates got a boo boo and two sets of extra clothes in case she needed them...
Is very much a little mother, much to Pete's dismay.
Likes to draw.
Always takes pictures with our phones.
Will only practice the alphabet one time a day, will let you know if she has already done it once.
Would like to learn how to read but does better with this when Jeff talks about it rather than me.
Is still off the charts for her height.  Now the nurse and doctor laugh instead of getting concerned. (that is a relief!)
At her five year appointment she answered all of the doctors questions liked she had been coached.  Made me look pretty good, except "we don't always wear our bike helmet in the driveway"... I know 'Aunt Leelan' just fell over...
Would like to be a doctor for kids or animals...this was said after she had been given two shots...she said, through the tears, it would be much better to be giving the shots rather than getting them.
Will sometimes act very silly because Pete does...
Is starting to not eat a lot of meat.
Is the leader when it comes to play time at home but I don't think that is the case when she leaves the house.
Slight obsession with girls of teenage age she knows; Olivia, Caroline, and Jessica(Daughter of one of her teachers)
Is very excited to start school in August.
