This little girl, how I love her so. She is such a good kid. She loves, loves, loves all things princess, pink, and purple. She is currently trying to grow her hair to be long like Rapunzel’s…the sign of a true princess is in their hair you know. She asks daily for me to measure her hair to see if it grew any longer while she was sleeping. She loves brushing it and braiding it and definitely loves her headbands.
She is the best big AND little sister around. She loves playing anything and everything with her big brother. And drawing and writing things our for her little sister, she is just like a little teacher. She loves to take care of her little brother too, I think she will make a great babysitter when she is older, she makes sure he is watched if he is on the stairs, she sings to him while I change his diaper so he doesn’t squirm and try to escape, and she loves to play peek-a-boo with him and get him giggling so hard.
Five. I still can’t believe it. What is it about your children’s birthdays? I love them because I get to celebrate the birth of my babies, reliving how they came into this world. And I love that I get to enjoy a whole new year of experiences with them. It is so much fun to watch them grow and learn new things. But dang, birthdays are so bittersweet too aren’t they? It makes me sad all at the same time as it’s another year bigger and sassier, and closer to driving a car, and having a boyfriend, and not wanting to give me a hug and a kiss. Geesh.
Oh little Miss P. How I love you so. We love you so. You were the perfect addition to our family 5 years ago. What a joy these last 4 years have been. I feel blessed each and every day that God put you in our care. You truly were sent from above.
