10

Jayli is 10!! That blows my mind! We wanted to do a special party for this big birthday. We rented a foam machine and invited as many friends as she wanted. It was such a fun day. Her birthday landed on Labor Day this year so they didn't have school. We ordered mini crumble cookies and the Simpers came to party too. Jayli asked for a turquoise cake with black tiger stripes. She has very specific opinions and she has her own preferences now. She's getting so grown up! She has asked for a calling watch for years. But this year she finally got one because I felt like it was the perfect time. She can call and message me and Jake only. It helps me when we're not together and we need to communicate. She's so responsible and organized. She reads every single morning then promptly makes her bed, gets dressed and does her own hair in a high side pony. She loves books and reading about fantasy, especially dragons. She's so good at multiplication and loves cursive. She loves to draw. She will have you tell her 2 animals and she will make them into one mythical animal. She's a great artist. She doesn't ever put off school work. She is so self motivated and loves to get things done. She never has homework because she's so focused. Jayli is such a leader. Everyone loves her energy and optimism. She's loves crafts and basketball. She is so active and has a 6 pack just from laughing and playing. Dr. Rogers asked me if she was a competitive athlete. She has recently learned to hunt and loves to go with Jake. I'd say she's a daddy's girl. He is her hero and I don't hold it against her. He is the absolute best person to look up to. Jayli loves coconut syrup, strawberries, cucumbers, goose, aug rotten potatoes. She loves gyoza at Takara and we ate there for her birthday dinner. She's so imaginative and has an adventurous heart. I would keep her this age forever! She's fun to talk to and chat with. She's my best friend. I am so so lucky to have my Jayli.
