SAVANNA GRACE

Savannah is 8 Yrs old and very loving. All that know her love her - even some of the little boys in her 2nd grade class.  She is active in Faith in God for girls at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  She loves going on Wednesday night to learn more about God. She was baptized the first of last December. She has been brought up to dress modestly and will not wear anything that shows her shoulders or abdomen or is short.  She dresses with style, most of the time, but always very modestly. She took dance for 2 years and for recital wore a body suit to cover her shoulders and belly. She is ok with a one piece bathing suit

Savannah has “anxiety attacks”. If you ask she will explain them to you and what she has to do to combat them.  She has worn glasses since she was a baby. They are a part of her body now.  She was having trouble concentrating at school, she was prescribed a medication.  After a couple of days of non stop talking, she ask Kim if they had put talking medicine in with her concentration medicine.  I mean NON STOP, even at night in bed. Her jaws were tired from clamping them shut so she wouldn’t talk so much in school.  It is interesting that she fully understands what her problem is. It takes extra effort to do school work. It appears that most of her friends accept her as she is.

Savannah is in the Girl Scouts. She has met new friends and enjoys the activities. Even the Cookie sales. Last year she was runner up in her troop. This year she has sold over 300 boxes.  She called several family friends and ask them to buy cookies. Gave the whole sales talk.  She also worked the Girl Scout Cookie table, one at a Kroger’s and another time at Wal-Mart.  Both were on a cold windy night. She looks at the people going by and sweetly asks them if they would like to buy some Girl Scout cookies.  Who is going to tell a cute little Girl Scout no? Especially when she tells them thank you after they buy the cookies.

Horses are her big love and have for the last 3 years. In 2010 for her birthday party she invited some of her friends to go ride horses at Uncle Kim and Aunt Carol's farm. Last month I made her a hooded poncho with pictures of horses all over the fleece.  I think she slept with it the first few nights and wears it daily to school and where ever she goes.

When Savannah was 4 yrs old she saw an American Girl catalog. Of course she picked out the doll she wanted. But Nana told her she had to be 8 yrs old to have those dolls. Every time she saw the catalog she reminded me that I had said that when she was 8 I would get her one.  She started last summer reminding me she would be 8 in November. So she now has Lulu that has brown hair and brown eyes like hers.  Of course lots of clothes, doll carry case, cupboard to hang Lulu’s clothes. She got upset that Lulu only had one set of underclothes, she would need to change!  Even has a poncho just like Savannahs.

Savannah kept going back and forth about getting her ears pierced. About a month ago she went to get her ears pierced. She picked out the earrings she wanted. They did both ears at the same time and all she said was OW.  She is soo proud of getting her ears pierced.
