Today is your 6th birthday. I am just in awe. How did the time go so fast and what did we ever do before you came into our lives? Exactly six years ago Daddy and I were in the hospital awaiting your arrival. We were anxious, excited and somewhat overwhelmed. We always dreamed of you and talked about what it would be like to have you but nothing could have prepared us for the surge of emotion we would feel that day. I will never forget the terrifying lows of that day but the highs were some of the most amazing of my life. When you finally made your grand entrance into the world you took Daddy and I's breath away. Our purpose on earth became crystal clear as we looked at your sweet face. Someone once wrote a quote that said "Choosing to have a child is choosing to walk around the rest of your life with your heart exposed." That couldn't be truer...you and Colti are without a doubt "our heart". We love you so much and would do absolutely anything for you baby girl.
This morning we woke up early and Daddy, Colti and I sang Happy birthday to you. After that you followed a balloon trail to your birthday gifts. You got a Doc McStuffins outfit, a new pool, some elbow and knee pads and the coveted purple roller skates. You were so excited to go to school today. Your best friend Carley and you just happen to share a birthday and are in the same class. Carley's Mama and I teamed up to create a nice birthday celebration for your class including cupcakes and ice cream. You are also super excited to head to a family dinner at Chuckie Cheese tonight.
You are growing into the most amazing young lady. You love soccer and have gotten quite good at it. It's not uncommon for you to score several goals in a game now.You are also still dancing and getting ready for this weekend's production of the Wizard of Oz where you will be a munchkin and a gem.You are quite the little over-achiever at heart and have quite the list of "lessons" that you advocate often for including horseback riding, T-ball, piano and gymnastics. You are so smart. This year, you were one of two kindergartners to win a Reading Counts Award and you scored at the top of your class on the DIBLES test. You have also been Student of the Month and your principal called me to tell me how wonderful you are doing in school. You are also a sweetheart and take such good care of your friends and little brother. Can you tell that we are SO proud of you??
Your favorite color is still purple. You love rainbows, Hello Kitty, Doc McStuffins and any sort of craft/art project. Your favorite food is easily ice cream. You like mint chocolate chip the best but will settle for pretty much any flavor. Wizard of Oz is topping the list of your favorite movies right now along with Wreck it Ralph. You are also a big fan of the tv show Good Luck Charlie. You are currently wearing a size 6x and an 11 or 12 shoe. We have recently started a chore chart at home at your request and you love earning stickers every day.
Happy 6th birthday Brynnie Chicken Dinnie. I love you all the way up to God and back 5,422 + infinity times:)
xoxo,
Mama
