and she's five

What in the world?!?  My baby is five years old today.

When I went into her room this morning she gave me a big smile and a tight hug.  She wondered if she was already five, even though it was the morning.  I told her she was and she jumped around.  She said that she thought maybe she was taller.  Clint measured her and she was.

What a sweet girl she is.  Just a beauty. 

She is learning everyday about herself and this world.  Simple things like saying hello and smiling when she sees someone.  Learning to be kind and love others.  She has a tender heart.  She is growing too fast for me some days, yet reminding me of the wonders of childhood. 

She starts full days at school in a couple of weeks.  Sometimes I feel that I already miss her.

We had a party today.  Thankful that she has some very sweet friends here in Christchurch.
Sweetness 1st day home through to last year's birthday party.
Happy birthday little one.
