Honestly she is the glue that holds this family together in so many ways. She is always pushing us to do things as a family. If it were up to her we would Roast Marshmallows every single night. If ever any of us need a favor Rileigh is the go-to girl. If you ever lose anything just ask Rileigh. She definitely keeps us on our toes that is for sure. She is my number one helper and data planner. She reminds me all the time of stuff I have forgotten or need to do or buy. Let's just sum it up that she has saved the day more than once!
I truly enjoy hanging with her. Rileigh likes to spend her time cooking, drawing, crafting, sewing, skiing, soccer, taking pictures and swimming. A lot of her time is spent right at my side, literally. If she is not at home she is dialing the phone for a friend to play with. Rileigh likes to be going and doing anything and everything all at the same time. The girl does not sit well.
She is a great sister and is so good with Nellie. Her and Logan are still working on their differences. She loves to tease both Logan and Nellie all the time. I do think she is the pot stirrer in the Logan-Rileigh-Nellie trio. The mystery is yet to be solved!
I honestly think she would make a great teacher someday. She loves to play school and have all the neighbor kids over as her students.We found out this past year how strong she truly is. With breaking her arm she has had the best attitude and has been so strong through it all. I have so much confidence in her and what she is going to accomplish in her life. She is definitely a go-getter.
When it comes to her room she hoards and holds onto every little thing. Her room is jam packed with momentous "things." It has been so fun watching her grow and mature.
She did excellent at school in 2nd grade also getting all A's. She is excited to start 3rd grade and meet her new "unnamed" teacher.
Pictured below is the arm that was broke and that thumb is the one we are working on. She has been going to a hand therapist all summer to straighten the elbow and do a 90 degree thumbs up! With all her hard work she is almost there.
I love you so much Rileigh and am so proud of you and all that you do for our family. Always know that you can do anything that you want in this life. Set your goals high and you will get what you want out of life. You are a great example to us all. I know Nellie totally looks up to you too - no pressure! I am excited to go school shopping with you and have a girl outing.
Love you Ri, Mom
