She...is...5

I can not believe it is already time to write this post. My little girl, my 1st born sweet, sweet baby girl turned 5 years old today. 5 is just soooo big to me. It means so much, so many things she has grown out of and so many new things ahead: she will start school this year, a Kindergartner, she will be old enough to finally play soccer, she is no longer a "baby" actually at 5 she is probably not even considered a "toddler" anymore, she grew out of the baby section in stores, now her clothes can be found in the "big" girl section.. She is just so big.

She.... is....5.

I am having a really really hard time with her being 5. I know it is silly, but it is true. It is weird to think in a couple of months I will be away from her 5 days a week, everyday she will leave and go to school and I will be home with the boys. Weird.

She is 5.

I think if I keep saying it, writing it, it will sink in, because right now it has not. I may have even shed a few tears today, because my only little girl is 5.

On the happier side of 5, she is an amazing little helper to me. She always helps out with her little brothers. Some kids dread when they are asked to help, not my Alexee, her favorite response is always "Sure Mommy I can do that for you." She is a truly amazing little girl. She helps me cook, clean, do the laundry, anthing asked of her. She is my little memory, I am a "little" forgetful, so she is always reminding me of things:) She is so so gentle and kind, such a little mothering nurturer. She is very very passionate, if that is the right word for it. Those of you that know her, know what I mean. She is a little young to say O.C.D, so we will call it passionate. She can be such a tom boy, she loves to go hunting and fishing with her Daddy, but she is also such a girls girl, loving anything girly. Her favorite outfit is a dress, favorite color is of course pink, her favorite show is Dora, favorite lovey is her purple blankie, she loves lip gloss, dangly earrings, girl time, when her Daddy is home, play dates, school, learning about Jesus, singing, dancing, playing in the sand box, swimming, camping, staying in a hotel, the little girl just loves to go and do.

I remember last year on 4th of July after the firework show she looked at us and said, "This is the best Birthday ever" she thought the show was all for her. That's my girl, yep we'd light up the sky for you:) She changed my life forever, the last 5 years couldn't have been any better!

I love love love you my little peaches and cream!! I miss you when we're apart, and I love every minute I get to spend with you!!
Happy Happy #5 Alexee Lynn!!
