Dear my favorite Addie girl,
I cannot even believe that you are FIVE already! One whole hand, a handful some would say :) FIVE seems so old to me for some reason, especially when it seems like just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital and navigating this whole parenting for the very first time. YOU made me a mom and it's by far my favorite job I've ever had and I am forever grateful for that.
At FIVE years old, you are so smart. You amaze me on a daily basis with your vocabulary and the questions you ask. I attribute your vocabulary partly to Fancy Nancy though :) This year you are in the Panda class at Oak Grove Preschool and you absolutely adore your teachers. You know all of your letters and can almost write them all too. You are even learning French! You love to learn and I cannot even believe that you will be starting Kindergarten next year.
At FIVE years old, you are beautiful on the inside and out and don't ever let anyone tell you differently! No one else in the world is just like you and you should be so proud! You have the best personality and such a love for life! You are fun and energetic, people just love to be around you and that says a lot!
At FIVE years old, you are such a mommy's helper. Your little mama instinct is so strong. You are so caring and loving to your brother and sister (most of the time), other little ones, and even your friends when they are sad or scared. You are always helping me keep Noah safe and when I'm busy you are the first person Bella turns too. You take your big sister role so seriously - and you are pretty darn good at it!
At FIVE years old, you are a Daddy's girl and you have been since day one. You look at your Daddy differently than you do anyone else. You absolutely adore him (and completely have him wrapped around your finger!) You light up the second he gets home from work and make him about 100 pictures every day for his "workshop" because you miss him. You've even agreed to let him live with you at college when you are older, although I'm sure that will change!
At FIVE years old, you have the best imagination. You love to play "family" "going to the ball" or "married" and are always in charge of delegating the parts to everyone. Right now, Bella happily plays along (sometimes you even convince Noah to play) and does whatever you say, but I have a feeling that won't always be the case. The two of you will play up in the playroom together for hours and I love to stand outside the door and listen to your little conversations. You guys have the best little imaginations and it's so cute!
At FIVE years old, you are an artist. Drawing, painting, writing letters, you name it - you love it all! Crafting is your jam and you would do it all day long if I let you. We got you a caboodle filled of stationary and gel pens this year for your birthday and you love it.
At FIVE years old, you are a people person. You make a friend every where we go and just love being around other kids. I pick you up from the Y, you've made a friend, we go to Chick-fil-a, you're inviting a stranger over to our house for a sleepover, we go to Disney, you find another little kid in line and they are instantly your best friend. You are a social butterfly and so much more outgoing than I was when I was a little girl - definitely a trait you get from your dad.
At FIVE years old, you love to be outside - at the beach, the park, or just riding your scooter in the cul de sac. You refuse to leave the house in anything but a twirl dress and eat more ketchup/ranch than I am willing to admit. You refuse to try any kinds of new foods and instantly tell me it's "disgusting", unless I bribe you with a pom-pom for our pom-pom jar. You love things that are beautiful aka sparkly jewelry, high heels, and most recently thanks to the bibbidy bobbidi boutique - make-up. You are 5 going on about 15 and I am sure not ready for those teenage years any time soon! You are obsessed with princesses, playing sports, ballet, and digging in the dirt, you love hot weather so you can go swimming, but love the snow so you can sled ride, you are a perfectly well rounded little girl who can (and will!) do whatever you put your mind to.
Happy birthday to our sweet Addie girl. You are something special and I hope you always remember that. You are smart, beautiful, kind - and all around a pretty cool kid. I love watching you learn and grow every single year and although I don't know what the future holds for you, I know it will be something amazing and I'm pretty lucky to be a part of it! Happy 5th birthday, I love you to the mood and back Addie girl :)
Love,
Mommy
