Savanna Update-5 years, 9 months

Savanna is growing up so fast! School has really seemed to turn her into a big girl. This has been good mostly though at times she has acted more annoyed towards Clark and like she's a little too cool for him. That makes me a bit sad. They still play a lot but I can tell things are a bit different now and it'll never quite be the same now that she's in school. That's life I guess. It's always changing!
The highlight for Savanna this past month was taking home Kinderbear for a night! (That who is sitting with her at the table in the picture above.) Each of the kids get a chance to take Kinderbear home. Savanna's teacher draws their name randomly and then they get to take the bear home and Savanna was able to take Kinderbear home this past Thursday. She was so excited! He came with us to her gymnastics class and a friend's house, he ate dinner with us, got a bath and slept in a bed that Savanna made for him near her bed. It was super cute to watch her play with him! WE love Savanna. She's such a joy to our family!
