Im having a hard time really accepting that my baby could possibly be 5. It doesnt make sense. How can time pass so quickly?
Because of the example of older siblings S. seems to think that Birthdays should include so much excitement that you fall into bed late that night exhausted. I think that Birthdays can be celebrated as special and full of joy without all the running around, hosting a circus. Why am I the only one in the family to think that?
At least, for now, S. was content to have a family party. Hooray! Probably because her best friend is her cousin, come to think of it. 2 for 1. Family/BFF party all in one.

| Happy with her Vet. station. And that Chewie fits perfectly on the little x-ray shelf! |
 |
| Sadly she doesnt have a baby book (feeling guilt right now) so I made up a quick one and had it printed. She loves to show it off to anyone who wants to see her bald baby head. |
 |
| The boys (oh and the neighbor who I forget isnt one of the boys) trying their hardest to look bored while she opens her gifts. |
 |
| Just like big sister. She wanted the exact same poseable barbie Z. got the month before. This one she named Kwatta. |
 |
| S. and cousin/BFF S. They are so adorable! |
 |
| S.'s eat out choice. Purple Turtle. Too Much Food! Yummy! Also her first time eating" TaterTodds" as she named them. |
 |
| Getting ready for a night at Trafalga. |
 |
| AHHHHHHH! Pretending to be afraid, just to scare mom I think. |
 |
| Bowling |
 |
| Skiiball. Dangerous for the camera lady, mom. I was hit several times by stray balls going very fast! |
 |
| Mini Golf. Daddy and N. are still a little too happy about scaring S. to death in the cavern area. Daddy snuck up and hollered. She froze, then trembled and almost had a heart attack! Happy Birthday! |

| A little wall climb to top off the night. |
She is a joyful little girl.
I will be so sad to see her start Kindergarten in the Fall, beginning her life without me.
No one told me that your baby is always a baby in your heart and each step to independence is painful.
Except that at the same time I am conscious of some of those steps, I am also blissfully unaware of it the rest of the time.
Like when did she stop asking me to put her shoes on her? When did she start buckling herself in her booster seat? When did I stop carrying her?
Im glad it isnt all painful!
