I love this spunky, sensitive girl and her big plans. I love that she was equally excited about a pink unicorn and a battle axe game, and her very specific set of plans to celebrate her day. I love how hard she worked to make sure none of her friends felt "dis-cluded" at her birthday party, and how delighted she was to share her gifts not just with them but with their little brothers who arrived a pick up time. I love that she has started to love reading, that she's working so hard to learn the violin, and that she delights in taking off around the neighborhood on her bike. I love her independence and bravery and how she rises to a challenge. I love her love of ice skating and stars, and that she can't learn something new without turning it into a 'class' for her siblings or friends. I love that she's happy at school this year, and that her favorite days are still spent home with her siblings. I love that she wants me to lay in bed with her every night and talk. 💜
We celebrated her today with donuts and gifts before school, and an afternoon swimming and playing with friends, and looking at the stars before bed. It was a good day. :)
