Rachel has had quite a bit of growth the last few months. She learned to water ski, do a back-hand spring -back tuck, sass her teacher, score a bunch of goals in soccer, and get A's on her report card.
She loves to be active. She has a hard time not having someone to play with. Now that she and Bella share a room, they have become best friends again. If Bella isn't available, Rachel still loves playing with Jane. She our little mom.
Rachel is very fashionable, starting lots of trends in her grade. She is very confident and won Class President the very first week of school as a new student. She loves to dance and sings in the school choir (even has a little solo). She just started to really enjoy reading.
I can't believe she is now 10. Where did my little girl go??? I love that she will come talk to me about anything.
Here she is, smiling as always!
Somehow Rachel has convinced her school classmates and teachers to call her Rochelle this year. It all started in 1st grade when there were 3 Rachels in her class...she went by RayRay. So when we moved to Delafield, WI, she invented Davis, and now she is Rochelle. I am still stuck on RayRay. It cracks me up to go to parent teacher/conference and here them talk about "Rochelle". Weird.
Sonia and I totally did that - tried to change our names. We gave ourselves middle names and Sonia even "changed" her birthday and had her elementary school class celebrating at the wrong time. My mom was in the Twilight Zone for a little while there.
