The Cinderella invitations have been sent, the goodie bags are full of sugary treats, the cleaning lady is coming today (good luck keeping the house clean for another 42 hours, right?), the party hats, plates, cups, and napkins are neatly stacked in the pantry, ice cream is in the freezer (good luck hanging onto that for another 42 hours too)... I think we're ready!
The birthday girl has been ready for weeks and weeks. She has been checking off her list and reminding us of things than need to be done and who she wants to invite... I love that she gets to enjoy the anticipation of the event as much as the event itself now. It's as much fun for me as for her I think. Though I am rather sick of spelling out the names of her friends so she can write them down for invites. We've done that about 50 times I reckon.

ReplyDeleteDear Abby,
If I had a daughter, I reckon she would be just like you.
I admire someone who is fiesty, ready to fight for what she wants, and show determination to overcome whatever difficulties stand in their way (such as mum and dad blocking the way to the chocolate in the pantry when they say it is bedtime).
Keep being who you are, life is tough when you are a girl and you will need to be tougher to succeed.
I hope you have a very happy 5th birthday!
Love from AE

Happy Birthday, 5 girl. You are right, 5 is very big indeed. Although, you were a beautiful baby girl and I can see why Mummy would want to keep you that way in her thoughts. Look at that sweet fluffy hair! And the crease on those pudgy arms!
ReplyDeleteMy baby is just about to leave 5 behind and turn 6, which really feels like the baby years are gone, gone, gone.
ReplyDeleteI have loved the age of five in both my children. They are still really cute, and really smoochy and cuddly and lovely but they are also helpful and sociable and amazing. So I know your Abby is about to give you the most wonderful year of fiveness! Happy birthday to your baby big girl. I hope she has a fabulous Cinderella party. How could she not after all the love and preparation that's gone into it.
