How could she be 5?!
I can tell you how:
She is so determined, has her mind made up and knows what she wants. She always wants to know her schedule, she is very much enabled by rules and guidelines, she yearns for structure and thrives best when she can predict what is going to happen. She is totally ready for kindergarten, loves to work on projects, and write cards and letters to send to everyone and anyone. She can be the sweetest big sister and also a great helper to Mom and Dad. She's a lefty, she has the cutest freckles under her eyes and is always excited when she finds a new one anywhere on her body...or anyone else's for that matter. She is so close to telling time and reading I wish I could push her over whatever speed bump that's holding her back from doing so.
The last five years haven't flown by like everyone says.
Each day has been a journey. Each day I've learned a new secret to Hayley.
Constantly I learn what makes her tick, when her favorite colors changed from pink and purple to pink and yellow. When she decided it would be ok to not only wear stretch pants but that corduroy and cotton pants would be ok too. Still working on the concept of jeans though.
She is all girl and always begging for new "play"dresses for everyday wear instead
of pants and t-shirts (which is my go-to outfit). She loves to feel pretty and has great confidence.
When she protects her brother, and knows when he's timid but Mommy is tied up.
She steps up.
Skyler is in Nashville at a conference this week so he had a friend bring by a balloon bouquet for him. They were a huge hit.
Hobbes also loved the balloons Daddy had sent from afar.
He didn't get to get down after cake to play with the balloons, it was a straight to the bath situation, so I tied one to his tray that he bopped up and down laughing and giggling.
Hobbes wasn't sure about sharing his ride on car with his cousins.
Frozen is sort of a big deal around here.
We love you Hayley and are so excited for the next 5 years.
