Our baby is five years old today!
It seems impossible.
This hilarious, talkative, friendly, crazy girl was just a teeny, tiny baby such a short time ago!
Really, she was.
Wasn't she sweet?
Even though it feels like we were just attending her first birthday party, Annie is indeed five. That's a legitimate kid. And as far as kids go, she's pretty great. Annie is the most friendly, confident kid I know. She LOVES making friends. When we go to new places with new kids, she is known to say "Mom! Look at all the new friends I can make!" I hope she feels like that forever.
A few days ago, I was reading a book to her and Kate about a girl who feels shy going to a party. I asked the girls if they ever feel shy. Kate said yes right away. Annie said no. She sounded almost confused. And I laughed because it was true. She doesn't have a shy bone in her body.
Annie makes us laugh every day. We love her energy and her take charge attitude (we won't say she's bossy). She loves art and crafts. She loves to color and draw. She loves Star Wars lately and her baby doll. She said when she grows up she wants to be a mommy. (Kate said she wants to cook food, if we're keeping track). She is loving and sweet with her sisters (always with Evie, mostly with Kate). She wants to wear dresses every day and is counting down the hours until she can go to kindergarten.
For her birthday, she asked that we go to a restaurant (she is obsessed with eating out) that "sings and claps and gives you an ice cream sundae for your birthday." Thank you, Red Robin.
With her birthday gifts.
Reading her new book to Barkly, the preschool class pet. (It's her turn on her birthday. Her five-year-old head nearly exploded with excitement).
She even shared her ice cream sundae with Kate. What a girl.
We love you, Annie!
Happy 5th Birthday!
