Added notes

I forgot to add a few notes that happened in 2013-2014 between posts:
Shaela was going through phases of hating her name, so we all were calling her "Shae" instead of "Shaela".  Then she hated "Shae and Shaela and wanted to be called "Sen" after the character in Spirited Away.  We complied and was taught to call her "Sen", even family.  It was very hard to change, and when we forgot, got so much flack and anger from her.  So when we went full force to have her called "Sen" even at school, I told her she had to wear a name tag hanging around her that said "Please call me Sen".  And she had to be patient with friends and teachers in making the change.  As soon as we were prepared to make the change at school, she decided she liked "Shaela" and did not want to be called "Sen", however she now gets mad if you call her "Shae" which I was still conditioned to calling her.  So that is where we are at now....  Justin and I should be sainted.

Shaela had told me that she wanted to come back (be reincarnated) as a ghost and haunt people.  She thinks that would be so fun!

Shaela went to an ice skating birthday party, which she did not want to do for fear of falling and not knowing how to ice skate.  She did so well (I think in large part to rollar skating at Chinese Camp last year) that she wanted to ice skate and do it often.  Well, after the first lesson later, she did not like taking lessons and her enthusiasm waned, but it was fun while it lasted!

Shaela loves bike riding from the Clinic, she loves to read books like Judy Blume and about girls getting into trouble or fighting with others at school.  She also had been making lots of clay figures, bunnie, sealy, caterpiller and puffer.  She is playing and creating beautiful scores on the piano, that she can replay note for note.  In her end of year school play, she played "Swan Lake"  so beautifully.  She only takes some lessons at school with Greg.  We hope to do more next year.

Shaela's favorite movie was Frozen.  She knows the words to the song of Let it Go.  She wanted the doll for her birthday and got one from Nonna.  She tried unsuccessfully to try to teach me the words.  Yikes!

Shaela doesn't wear dresses much, she is all into layers and leggings all the way into the summer.  She likes comfort and to look good.  We have to cut all tags off of her clothes as she is very sensitive (just like her Mom).

Her new haircut is sooooooo cute!!!!!  And so easy to take care of.  No more endless struggles with cream rinse and trying to get all her tangles out.

Life is getting easier!  Blessings to All.
Debbie, Justin, Shaela, Kobi and Tara and fishies
