Five years ago on this very day, a vocal, sassy, tiny girl sprung forth from my belly to make our family complete.
Somehow she went from being born just moments ago to suddenly being five. I have a good chunk of her life documented here on the ol’ blog-er-oo, but it doesn’t seem like five years have passed. “They” weren’t lying about time flying.
Everyday she cracks me up with her goofy faces and her sense of humor. She is cuddly and kind-hearted, feisty, competitive, bossy, and still vocal, sassy, and tiny.
For her birthday today, I’ve played a very odd imaginative play scenario with dinosaurs, a Moxie girl, Spiderman (as the dad-OBVIOUSLY), and some construction trucks. She chose two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and goldfish crackers for lunch and for dinner she’d like to go out for sushi and ice cream. We had her birthday party on Saturday where she and her friends painted butterflies and ate A LOT of sugar. It was perfect.
In the fall, she’ll be a Kindergartener, which is like, WHOA. We had Kindergarten roundup last week. Please allow me a moment of bragging, but she scored a 92 on whatever test it was that they gave her. So I should add “smart” to the list of her traits above. I just can’t imagine that come August, I’ll be sending her to big school everyday, even though I’m a seasoned pro at sending kids off to Kindergarten and surviving.
Five years old is OLD for a baby. She’s still a baby, right? My baby, anyway.

she wants to be a mommy : ) so sweet
This is such a sweet post. I love the photos of your little girl. I KNOW I’ll blink and my little one will be in Kindergarten. It breaks my heart a little, but it’s also SO EXCITING to witness her turn into a little person (with ideas, opinions, etc.). Happy Birthday to your baby girl!!! (And she looks so much like you, BTW. Those BIG blue eyes are just stunning!

They do grow in the blink of an eye. My baby will be 17 in 31 sleeps. I’m sure it’s not that long since he was being rocked to sleep as a babe.
I also like Ella’s favourite song. Played really loud when driving.

Aww… she is one sweet little angel. I know that her attending school will mean a lot of adjustment to both of you, but I believe you can do it.
It really amazes me how fast our kids grow up – you don’t believe all those stories until you see it with your own eyes. I know my baby is turning seven this fall and honestly I can say she will be my baby – no matter how old she is.
our youngest turns 5 at the end of this month. It’s going to be so nice to have them both in the same school, on the same schedule once school starts back up, but the aging up thing is starting to freak me out. When they are both in school, the next thing you know they will both be out of school and gone from the house. Happy birthday to the little girl!

If you have a kid and something to say, then you’ve already got the necessary qualifications to become a mommy blogger. If you have thought about blogging before but aren’t sure how to set up a mom blog, then you’ve come to the right place.

Monkey will be in kinder this year, too.
Let's have a skype pity party or beer party or mimosa party or whatever that day to comfort each other

You really have a beautiful daughter. Time is really fast. She grew well and beautiful. For sure you are happy to see her growing healthy and beautifully.
The next time you know, she will be running to you and telling that a naughty boy in class is teasing her.
Happy birthday to your baby girl. She is so gorgeous.
