Four was…

mastered hand stands in the swimming pool, writing your name right to left letters backward, drawing a picture for me almost everyday at school, dressed as Little Red Riding Hood for Halloween, saw Cinderella on Broadway, walked in your first fashion show holding my hand, Calico Critters, skied for the first time, had your first trip to California, Rainbow Loom, writing your name left to right letters forward, loved and love the movie Frozen, have memorized all the words to every song and sing “Let it Go” with your eyes closed and arms outstretched, had your first five cavities, two of which still need to be filled, had your first haircut, enjoyed our first girls road trip to Ohio, standing tall at 44 inches, still not quite pronouncing your “r”s which makes you sound adorable to me and makes you sound like you have a British accent to Kenzie Kingswell, know how to write Mommy, Daddy, Lucas and Oliver, adore your older brother even when he’s being bossy and a know-it-all, accommodate your younger brother allowing him to have your fork/cup/plate because he HAS to have the green one, picking up his fork that he has dropped for the umpteenth time, Penelope Peapod, know how to write grandmother in Korean, wearing necklaces, and gaining confidence and independence

Five is…

a whole new, sparkling year!
