Kendall Macy

Miss Macy is sunshine in my soul! She is a sweet, and gentle child. Rather quiet and soft spoken, but willing to speak up for herself when she need to. She has postive outlook and a helper attitude. She doesn't require much attention, so I have to be careful not to ignore her in my busy day. She's rather self sufficient in most tasks. In fact, she delights in doing things for herself, then showing me how well she preforms. She coming into the age when she LOVES to help her younger siblings. I love to watch her help Alina with tasks, like putting on her shoes. She talks to her like she's an adult. "Now let's put on the other shoe. I'm going to get those piggies!" Kendall is JOY!

Like most of your kids, Kendall LOVES being in a big family. Her and Garrett have a buddiship that is great! He teases her, usually she doesn't take his teasing serious, so she giggles and teases back with him. Kendall is a skinny little thing but she has no hesitation in wrestling Garrett anytime anywhere! Fortunately for her Garrett just bats her around like a mouse. Garrett can go on and on with a story, or tell a average joke that we have had five times, and Kendall with listen intently and laugh every time. She thinks Garrett rocks!
Kendall's best friend is Taryn. I love it! Those two girls don't need anyone else. They can play for hours. They rarely disagree or fight. I'm so grateful that they have one another. They are 19 months apart, but two years in school, so at times I can see the maturity difference but Kendall is so patience and kind. She loves to teach Taryn everything she knows and Taryn is a willing and able student. They are quite different, so I pray that as they get older they can help each other with their strengths and weaknesses.
Kendall is a very organized, tidy girl. She has always loved to straighten up the shoes, put the silverware away, or sort socks. If you give something little to Kendall, she will put it in her special place and always have it. Where my other kids will lose it before they get upstairs. Kendall can find anything in the house. She's observant. This tendency to love organization and structure has lead to Kendall flourishing in school. Her Kindergarten teacher loves her and she loves going to school. I have be pleasantly surprised how well she has caught onto reading. She just gets how letter and sounds work. She loves to read her books to Taryn every night.
Kendall is an outdoors kinda girl. It's hard to get her to come in, no matter how cold or hot it may be. Because she's outside all the time, she's a fast little runner! She can go and go and her little battery never runs out. Her only problem is she has no bum! So her pant are always falling off. Half the time I see Kendall running with one hand behind her holding up her pants. We've tried belts, skinny jeans, safety pins. I tease her that we need Duck tape. But that long skinny figure is perfect for gymnastics and ballet, her two favorite activities.
I can see that Kendall is going to be a strong force for good in our family. She is the peacemaker in most situations. The creator of fun and adventure. She's thoughtful and loving to those around her. We are blessed the have the precious girl in our family.
