2+ years gap, she's turning 8 soon!

I can't believe it took me more than 2 years to add another post to this blog!   It's not the right time to scold myself now so I'll just get down to sharing some updates.

Shaynna is now 7 years old and she's turning 8 in October!  Time does fly so fast and I'm already very anxious about her becoming a teenager (and I still don't want that)!

My little girl is now in second grade but she's as thin as she was in first grade.  It is still so hard to convince her to eat a lot.  The photos below were taken last year but there's no difference now (except for the larger hair accessories that she always wears nowadays).

Here she is in her school uniform:
 In her P.E. uniform:

She experienced her first disappointment at school a few months ago.  She didn't make it to the honor's list because she got a low grade in Mathematics.  Of course I didn't scold her.  Who would have the heart to after hearing from her that she was angry with herself.  I even had a hard time holding back my tears when she told me that.

Instead of sulking in the corner, she has decided to join the Mathematics Club in her school and she's one of the officers.

I don't know where she gets that attitude of standing back up again.  So proud of my little girl!
