Mara celebrated a milestone birthday a few weeks ago when she turned five, and this fall she'll be going to kindergarten. She is a beautiful little girl with my blondish hair and John's blue eyes. She's the tallest of her class and is solidly built. We like to think that Mara is pretty well rounded. She loves to wear dresses and skirts and play dress up with her cousin Lani, but she also likes playing with cars, trains, and bugs. While we don't have any trees for her to climb outside, we find her scaling the cat tree all the time.
She recently discovered Playmobil and Zhu Zhu Pet toys, and they are currently her favorite. But, she still plays with her Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony. She also loves to color and draw. She claims to not like cake or cupcakes, but she will rarely turn down a brownie.
Her favorite colors are pink and purple, and her favorite TV shows are anything on Playhouse Disney (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Chuggington, Jungle Junction, Happy Monster Band, and Handy Manny), Phineas & Ferb, and Wizards of Waverly Place. She also loves to listen to music. Her favorite song right now is "Naturally" be Selena Gomez, but she also likes Owl City's "Fireflies," Miley Cyrus' "The Climb," Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me," Hannah Montana's "Best of Both Worlds," and Allstar Weekend's "A Different Side of Me," and she sings along with many more when they're on Radio Disney. Her favorite animals are still whales, dolphins, and cats.
She is a very sweet girl. We still have to work on the whining and using listening ears, but we think that's more a cry for attention now that her brother is here. She's a great big sister, though. She loves to help out with her brother, and she's even helped change his diaper.
