Six

Six things about the Little Ballerina on your sixth birthday....

1. Your bumpers are still the most important thing in your world.
2. You are a total free spirit who loves to tool around the hood on your bicycle.
3. You change into your pj's the minute you get home from school. You'd wear them 24/7 if it was socially acceptable.
4. Music is becoming an important part of your being. You sneak my iPod and escape into your own world. You play Daddy's iPod on the docking station and sing along as you do your arts and projects in your "studio." You play your CD's and dance to the music in your room.
5. You love apples, strawberries, cantaloupe, cheese tacos, sushi, grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. But you would eat race car wheels for every meal if given the choice.
6. You can play with your Barbies and other dolls for hours, but you also love playing with Meredith and Everett, Will, Baby Mia, Baby Nate, Lindsey, and of course, Miss Jan and Miss Debbie.

Happy Birthday, Little Ballerina. It's hard to believe you're already six years old. Where did my little girl go? There's a big kid staring back at me in these photos. I don't recognize her.

 

For your birthday treat, you wanted cupcakes instead of a cake. So, together we made cupcakes.  

 

For your birthday dinner, you chose...

(who says we're not klassy?)

Pancakes for dinner. 

And cupcakes for dessert.

(our sugar highs quickly crashed into carbohydrate comas)

Happy Birthday, Little Ballerina!  

I love you, 

Mommy

And one to grow on...
