My baby girl is 5.

Mia,

How did it go by so fast?
WHY does it go by so fast?

Your 5 today.

We had the most fantastic day celebrating you and you turning this magical number.

This year, you have learned so many things.. you have said some of the funniest things I have ever heard in my lifetime. You’ve been places, you’ve seen things, you’ve made this world a better place. Well, my world anyway. I love to watch you watch the space around you. You take everything in. You take the time to enjoy. You take the time to appreciate every little thing. Your thankful, your grateful, your lovable and kind. Your learning to so many things, sometimes it gets to be just too much and you might to start to breakdown, nothing a little quiet reading time won’t cure. You do love to read… and we are so impressed with you!

You had a fantastic birthday weekend. A little family gathering … and then a funfilled day at the circus. It was a total surprise, and your eyes lit up and you were so excited. I wish I could have froze time and just stayed right there with you in that precious moment. Pure and total joy. Nothing like it, ever.

Happy Birthday Mia Alexis… you rock my world.

Love, Mommy.
