What a wonderful month May is. The older everyone gets I realize it's the busiest month but not too busy to celebrate our favorite 8 year old!! There were a lot of happenings for you this month! Grandma and Grandpa Ellingson and Gramma B and Bart all flew in for your baptism! Dani flew in for your birthday and it was so fun to see family so far away! Dani took you on a special date to go rock climbing and got you a really cool rope art flower for your birthday. Mom and you shared the special day since May 14th was also Mother's Day! So a few days before your actual birthday, you had a friend birthday and it turned out to be so fun! At first you weren't sure about a party but so many friends showed up and supported and it was such a fun night! There were about 13 girls here and we were outside playing games with Dad and playing the saran wrap game. Then we had an ice cream bar with tons of ice cream and toppings. It was a really fun night! Then for our actual birthday we celebrated by letting you open presents in the morning and your sisters all helped me make a rock-climbing cake! I surprised you with it and didn't tell you beforehand what kind of cake it was. We made sure to make it a surprise cake with lots of candy inside too!
A few things about my newly 8 year old! Bergen you are getting so big and grown up. I feel like you grew up a lot this year in 2nd grade. You have LOVED your teacher, Mrs. Lacomis and have some sweet friends. Your friends right now are Mati, Clara and Dahlia. You love to do theater and rocked it as Ursula this semester in Little Mermaid! You are such a sweet sister to Jonny and love to give her compliments and usually give her her way if she is cranky or wants something of yours. You love to stay up and play Mario Kart with Dad and jump on the trampoline with him. You are a really good soccer player and have true talent in playing soccer! You also love to rock climb and be outside. Bergen you are sweet and sensitive and have recently gone through a bout of anxiety which has been hard on you and dad and I. You were lost at a water park for a few minutes and since then you haven't wanted to be left alone or are afraid that mom won't be there to pick you up from things. You are slowly gotten better but you are still anxious about being left alone a lot of times. You haven't wanted to go to birthday parties or be dropped off for soccer. Even bedtime is sometimes hard because you are worried I am leaving (which I always say I never run errands at night because I am tired!) We love you so much and pray for you a lot. We hope that you will continue to trust in yourself and us that nothing would happen to you and that you are safe and secure.
Other things I love about Bergen. She is artistic, funny, silly, loves to play school, is a great helper in the kitchen, loves cucumber with glaze, doesn't like a lot of dinners but we are working on this :), a really really good chess player (you got a board for your birthday), and loves to play games with mom and dad. We love you Bergs!!
