Happy Birthday!

I really can’t believe that Daughter is all ready 5. It seems like it was not so long ago that we she was a month old and we were in Tennessee picking her up. I remember walking the halls of the hotel that night, while she cried, and ate and slept. In honor of her fifth birthday, I have decided to share five things about her with you all :

• She is excellent at sharing. She is willing to share her treats, toys, and her room when relatives come visit.
• She has rhythm. She loves to dance, and once the music is playing she swings her hips and move her hands. To look at her you would think that she has spent a lot of time in lessons. She hasn’t but would like to, I think.
• She is an excellent eater. When we go to my mom’s house, my boys ask for cookies. Daughter asks for an orange. She likes fruit but she really loves vegetables. When she is serving herself the steamed veggies, we have to remind her to save some for everyone else. And she eats steak like no other preschool aged around.
• She has imagination. She isn’t really into toys - she has a few that she plays with, but give her a blanket and she has a kingdom or a picnic. If she is outside she is conquering Terabithia and saving her friends from goblins. Or she is a cat, or a dog or an animal tamer.
• Her smile lights up the room. She loves to laugh and has an incredible laugh.

Just look at her laughing in this picture. Isn't it adorable?!

I love you, baby girl. Happy 5th birthday. I’m proud to be your mom.
