to this...
but it has happened. We have a 5 year old! We started the birthday celebrations with a Mom/Daughter date night. On this date night she got her first present: getting her ears pierced:
She was so incredibly brave that I couldn't even believe it. The workers told her to squeeze the stuffed animal on the count of three and afterwards she gave me a look that seemed to ask, "Is that it?" I think she was waiting for something else to happen cause she wouldn't answer the workers, but when I asked her if it hurt she said, "A little." Less than 5 minutes later she said, "They don't even hurt anymore, mom!" She was so excited to pick out her earrings and feel like such a big girl.
Then we had a family over for cake and ice cream on Sunday...
And of course Birthday morning doughnuts for breakfast...
and more presents...
Then for her actual Birthday night, she chose to take a few friends to Planet Play. 6 kids + 2 adults + an endless buffet/arcade = Craziness! But it was totally worth it! They had so much fun and all of the kids were so great!
A weekend full of festivities was the perfect way to celebrate our sweet 5 year old. She has spent the last 5 years bringing joy to our lives with her sweet and caring spirit. Some current things about her are...
- She loves to read. Everywhere we go she is reading signs, store names, tags, and anything that comes into sight. She loves taking every opportunity to read a book to someone, and she especially likes to ask them questions about the story that she is reading. She cannot wait to start Kindergarten and asks me often how much longer before she can go.
- Her favorite toy right now is Legos. She enjoys building, then taking apart, and then re-building. She follows the building instructions and puts them together all by herself. Every time we are in the toy section she finds the Legos and asks for a new one.
- Currently her favorite food items are Peanut Butter Sandwiches, waffles/pancakes, fuji apples (no Granny Smith), cheese, and ice cream.
- Adalyn is definitely a mini caretaker. She loves it when I ask her to help Quincy with something or help me clean. She loves taking care of her babies, especially since getting a LaLaLoopsy Doll for her birthday which she now dresses, puts to bed, feeds, and wants to take everywhere we go. She has the sweetest little heart and asked me the other day, "Mom, can I help you weed?" Because she had friends over I told her that I was okay and she could play, to which she said, "But then you have to do all the work by yourself and it will go faster if I help you." Seriously the most thoughtful girl.
- She is in a gymnastics class and gets so excited to go every week. She loves being involved in things and seems really interested in watching/pretend playing softball so we may try to get her involved in that.
- She can't wait for summer because she loves swimming. Every time it's just a little warm she asks if we can go to the pool.
- Currently her pet peeves are dirty glasses, pants that don't fit right, Quincy touching her Legos, twisted blankets, and loose strands of hair.
