Last Tuesday was Melissa's 5th birthday! It's so hard to believe that she's 5 and we'll be starting kindergarten this year! She's such a precious girl and we love her SO very much!
Melissa at 5 - she talks alot. Alot alot. She asks so many questions and sometimes it's so very random. I wish I could see her thoughts sometimes to see how she gets from whatever we were last discussing to the next random question that pop out of her mouth.
She is a little mommy. She is a great helper for me with Caedon, especially in the car when I can't reach to take care of him. She often asks for a tissue or a burp rag to clean him up and she helps him with his bottles when he's eating on the go.
She adores her big brother. They are the best of friends - although they do fight more than ever these days. Hopefully the best friends part with continue and the fighting will stop (yeah, wishful thinking, I know....).
She doesn't play with toys very much, really. She loves to be outside on the trampoline or playing in the sand box. She also enjoys being read to or reading books with her TAG pen. She also loves movies - Tom and Jerry and the Tinkerbell movies are her current faves, with occasional appearances of Tangled, Despicable Me, The Smurfs and Rio.
She CAN NOT WAIT to go to kindergarten. I tell her that I'm sad she's going to leave me all day and she says, "You will still have Caedon and you can come get us after school." I ask her what I'm going to do all day with only Caedon at home and she says, "You can take a nap!" Does she know me or what? :)
I just adore her. I'm blessed to have her as my daughter.
