Today you turn 5 years old! You are officially a big girl (even though you will always be my baby!). You are at such a fun age and I love the stage you are in right now! Here are a few things I always want to remember about you as you turn another year older:
- You are still very tall. You are the tallest in your class and tower over some of the other boys and girls. You are wearing size 6 clothes and size 13/1 shoes. (Update- We went for your well check today and you are 47 inches tall (99th percentile) and weight 53 pounds (96th percentile). Dr. Morrow predicted that you will be almost 6 feet tall as an adult. It will be fun to see if her prediction is right!)
- You are still a good eater and will try most things. There are not very many things you don't like but the one thing you usually won't eat is beans.
- You are a good sleeper and have finally started sleeping through the night without having to get up to go to the bathroom.
- You say the funniest things and are always making us laugh. You still mix up words/phrases and you use the best expressions when you talk.
- You are very smart and are starting to read. You know several sight words and can find them in stories we read together. You can read easy books with patterns all by yourself. You love learning and do very well at preschool. I know you are going to excel in kindergarten next year.
- You are very social and make friends easily. You look forward to seeing your friends at preschool every day. Some of your good friends are Dylann Rose, Annabelle, and Hadley. You also LOVE spending time with Addison, Aubrey, and Ryan. Your best friend is Eden and the two of you usually play so well together. You are complete opposites in so many ways but balance each other out perfectly. I pray that you will always be close sisters.
- You love to color and draw and are always making pictures for me to hang on my door! You also love to play UNO and are really good at it! You still love to play with your baby dolls and stuffed animals and usually have one close by.
- You have loved playing soccer this fall and can't wait for each practice and game. I'm anxious to see if you will stick with it or try something new in the spring.
- You are my sidekick during the day while Parker and Eden are at school. I love having you with me as we run errands and I'm really going to miss my one-on-one time with you next year when you start kindergarten.
I'm so thankful for you, Lily, and my life wouldn't be the same without you! You are full of spunk and sass and you complete our family perfectly! I love how excited you are about turning five and I pray that this will be your best year yet!
I love you to the moon and back, Mommy
