I can't believe our sweet little girl is 5 years old already. She is such a fun, kind, thoughtful, smart, giving, silly girl and we love her so much! She loves preschool and can't wait to start kindergarten at Galileo next fall. She is so excited to be starting to learn to read. She loves ballet class and is excited to start soccer in a few weeks. She is such a great big sister to McKay and is super patient with him (most of the time). She is not a big fan of the drive to McCall but loves to be at the cabin and play in the snow. She hates squishy (cooked ) tomatoes and squash. She loves to play Eye Spy while we drive in the car and princess memory matching game. She hates to hear her brother cry and will leave the room if he cries too loud. She loves to run and jump and cartwheel all over the place and just be outside in general. She is such a happy girl and we love her so much. She makes it seem like we are actually decent parents.
Brooklyn's Favorites (according to her):
color: pink, purple, silver
food: spaghetti, grapes, chicken, frosting, brownies, broccoli
song: Thunder by Imagine Dragons and Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam
sport: soccer
For her birthday we didn't do a big party (neither Craig or I are big party people), but did a lot of little celebrations. On Wednesday she took cupcakes in to preschool. Thursday, her actual birthday, She had a waffle with whipped cream and sprinkles for breakfast and then we took cupcakes to dance class and then met up with some family at McDonald s for lunch. She insisted we go there for lunch because in her mind you only go there for your birthday. That evening we ate dinner as a family and then opened her presents. Of all the things she got, her favorite was the $8 stuffed unicorn. She loved all the presents, but the unicorn is pretty much by her side whenever she is at home. Friday evening we got together with family for texas sheet cake, chocolate chip cookies and ice cream. Finally on Sunday my Mom had a birthday dinner. She is so lucky to be surround by such wonderful supportive people. She is such a wonderful girl and we are so lucky to have her as part of our family.
What a fun, happy little girl you have! Enjoy every minute as she grows and develops into a beautiful young woman. It happens so fast! You both grow together and it is hard to believe the parents are growing older, they just become like children experiencing many new adventures. Yes. you are responsible adults, and see many things to watch out for as exciting, different attractions present themselves, but seeing it all from the child's point of view will help you know how to guide her precious thoughts and actions. Your experiences of guarding her at the same time letting her try to be herself will bring you always close to her as she feels you sincere love. It really is a privilege to be a parent, isn't it?
