Five …
Sleeps with her Teddy and brings him everywhere
Loves stickers and temporary tattoos
Squeezes into size 2T pajamas
Helps with chores
Insists on tagging along on mundane errands
Has best friends
Sings along with songs on the radio
Refuses to wear socks
Cannot wait to lose a tooth
Wants to be brave but still hold your hand
Knows the rules and tries to follow them
Listens to reason
Plays pretend with her stuffed animals
Will do almost anything for a treat
Is gaining independence
Tolerates her little sister and adores her baby sister
Giggles at potty jokes
Believes in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
Has so many questions and needs to clarify everything
Wants to make a plan and confirm the plan again and again
Tries to make you laugh non-stop
Is learning to spell and so proud of it
Can do simple math and is so proud of it
Plays board games and card games and loves to win
Struggles sometimes with being a “big girl”
Wants to be an artist and a mommy when she grows up
Asks if there are toys in heaven and can she take Teddy too
Can swing all by herself
Talks and talks and talks and…..
Believes her stuffed animals have feelings
Will let you know when you hurt her feelings
Loves her grandparents
"Five is a big deal. Five goes to Kindergarten and reminds us that while we thought this day would never come and we thought we’d be elated to finally have some free time, we are actually sad to realize that school gets more of your time than we get. Our heart aches over the passage of time. Five shows us how fast it goes."
