Reese

Last but certainly not least is Miss Reese Petyon Anne!!  aka, Reesey, Goose and Reester.  And apparently some of her friends call her Reese's Pieces!


Reesey is doing so great in Grade 1!  I really expected her to complain about being at school all day but she hasn't uttered one complaint!  She's enjoying herself and I am already seeing growth in her learning.  I spoke to her teacher last week and Mme. Khair said she is participating a lot in class, which is awesome as last year she didn't really participate.  She loves Mme. Khair and I think she may have needed a bit more structure in her day, which grade one offers.  So here's hoping for a fantastic grade 1 experience for Reese :)  We're off to a good start!!

Reese had her hair cut before school began and her new and shorter 'do just suits her so much!!  She sure has her own sense of style ... she likes to do her hair in various styles but her favorite is a ponytail on one side of her head, some hair hanging in her face and her hair in the back is down.  It's an interesting and unique look for an interesting and unique girl :)

All summer long Reese has said she didn't want to play ringette.  But guess who's changed her mind?!  As soon as we started talking about Em playing ringette, Reese changed her mind!  And now she is super excited to start her ringette season!  She will be in Active Start 2 this year, which is every Sunday and on Thursdays every second week.  She starts on October 2nd. We have to by her a new pair of skates before she starts, her skates from last year are 3 sizes too small!

Reese began piano lessons at the beginning of September.  We enrolled her in group piano lessons at a local music school, called Dominelli's. Reese has had two lessons and is enjoying herself so far!  She needs a keyboard to practice at home but a little birdie told me she may be getting one for her birthday in November ;)

Reese is a social butterfly at school, she seems to know everyone in grade 1!  She loves to stay at the park after school and play with her friends, especially her bestie, Alexa!  She's been to 3 birthday parties this month and has another one on October 1st.  I have a feeling this busy social calendar is not going to slow down for her!!

Reese is a cuddly, sweet, sometimes quiet, goofy, risk-taking, funny girl and we just love her so much!!
