My daughter walked into my room the other day and told me, "You know, Mommy, I'm not your baby anymore. I'm your big girl now!". I told my hubby that I almost told her she should go ahead, take my heart out of my chest and crush it with her tiny little hands while she was at it because that's exactly what it felt like, lol. Instead I informed her that she would always be my baby and ignored the "nah-ah's" that followed.
And why was she breaking my heart first thing in the morning? This is the month my sweet child turns 5. Well, she thinks she actually turned 5 on Sunday which was the day of her birthday party and not her actual birthday (the only way she'd agree to a party was if she was turning 5 that day so she agreed to turn 5 on Sunday, then again on her actual bday later this week).
I still feel like it was just yesterday that I found out I was pregnant with her and now I have a feisty (almost) 5 year old having conversations with me and cracking me up daily. Plus, she leaves cute little soft sculptures randomly around the house which I love.
This is also the reason I've been absent from here for the last week or so as I was trying to get ready for her party plus all the other five million that occur in this month (my sister, brother, cousin and I all have our first borns' bdays this month, crazy right?). Sorry about that! I'll blog and post pictures about it shortly but in the meantime I need a nap or two to recoup from the partying, 10 layer cake baking, and Hello Kitty parting ... and I think someone else could use a little nap too ...
I'm already jealous of the snoozing going on ...
Love the pics, especially Mito with the crown. Happy b-day Vivi!

Yes, he's a little boy prince in that picture :) I'm glad Sara took it for me!
