Meet Faith

So, here is an update on Faith. She is 5 and such a sweet, sweet girl. A couple of weeks back she lost her first tooth. Last night she came running up to me and said “shake my tooth” (wiggle is what she meant) and when I did, you could tell it’s about to come out. It’s been lose since the first of June but is just now really loose. Her favorite thing to do is sing. She loves to sing. Everything in her life is pretty much a song. She sings about getting dressed, eating, getting a bath, pretty much everything. Her favorite song right now is “Alive, Alive”. It’s a song about Jesus.

She will begin her journey in school in August. She’s heading to Kindergarten and so excited. The teacher explained to me at the lunch meet and greet that she must know how to spell and write her first name, Amanda, by the time school is over. That is a state law. So, we’ve been spending the last few weeks going over Amanda and our last name (for safety reasons I’m not listing it). She has Faith down pat. So, Amanda is a little hard as you imagine and the new way to spell our last name is “Kesr”. A friend of mine suggested making up a song where you would spell our last name in it to help. We did that with our new phone number and she has it memorized now so it’s a really good idea.

For my friends reading this, I’ll post the words to our song and if you need to work with your child, feel free to use it (or any tune to another childhood song). I got the idea from a girl on a local Atlanta board. She used Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

I used Camp Town Races. (where we live, you have to dial the area code before calling anyone in any area)

Faith and Lauren have a phone
Doo Da Doo da
Call and see if their home
Oh do da day
***-948-****
Do do da day

Have a good day!
