Another Day to Celebrate!

 
S turned 5 last week!  She loved having Grandma and Aunt Suzanne her to help her celebrate her big day.  Five has become a magical age for her, and she is suddenly very grown up -- and old enough to do new things like brush her teeth without standing on her stool, reach things high in her closet by herself, and (some days) she feels a new power to do things without even being asked!

I love this little monkey!  Here are FIVE things I just adore about her (in no particular order):

1.  I love her energy!  She is almost always the first person awake -- she goes and goes all day without a nap.  Oh that I could siphon just a bit of that energy!
2.  I love to watch her dance!  She can't seem to help herself when she hears music she's just got to boogie -- and she's actually quite good!
3.  I love to watch Miss S as a big sister -- every day she says to me, "thank you for letting us have a baby sister."
4.  S is a determined little girl.  She has been in speech therapy since age 2 1/2 and has come such a long way!  She has worked so hard!!
5.  She is very curious -- sometimes it leads to things being broken as she takes them apart to investigate them -- but mostly it's fun to watch her mind work! Lately, she has become very interested in putting letters together and reading them.
