Pies Kid Profiles

Anna (5) - Very bright, articulate & competitive.

Career ambitions include: "Pediatrician, stunt woman & hammock tester." When her teacher asked about her desire to become a hammock tester, Anna said "it's a joke." She is sticking with the doctor path, but she may give up stunt woman plans to chase Olympic gymnastic dreams. Anna played tennis this summer & she is also on pace to become a great swimmer - just like her mom!

Anna recently lost her first tooth! ...and kindergarten starts this week!

Daniel (4) - Smart, stealthy & very protective of his sisters.

Daniel's career ambitions: "I want to be Spiderman. ...and a daddy, just like my daddy." Like most boys, Daniel also loves his bike, cars & dinosaurs. He is a creative and compassionate lefty who also excels at catching lizards and racing his plasma car. Soccer is up next on Daniel's sports card.

Hero note: Early this spring, Daniel caught his little sister when she fell from a six foot platform! ...he's a hero, just like Spiderman!

Natalie (2) - Fearless, independent & determined.

Natalie is determined to keep the pace with her siblings. At 2, she is an accomplished climber. Prior to her second birthday, Natalie began climbing out of her crib to explore the house and fill basic needs. Adventures included trips to the potty, a search for cough medicine and a quest to expel the cat from her room. She is a natural acrobat who can't be stopped!

Natalie is also a BIG talker. ...and very cute!
