This child…It’s amazing how she is growing. It’s hard to believe that she is almost five. She is becoming a little-big girl with a vivid personality. Lively, bubbly, and STRONG. Being her mom is the biggest joy, and I only see it growing.

She decided she wanted to have a dog-themed birthday party. Hoping to invite dogs, we made some fun dog crafts.

Not sure how the dogs would do with cake and treats all over the table. Maybe Max and Otis can come (see above). OK, Mommy. 

Back to what I was saying. Our interactions continue to grow because if ever there is tension or any negative reactions, we “talk it out” as she likes to say. She even is using this strategy with her friends at school. Like I said, the joy of being her mom and watching her blossom has to be the most precious part of my life. I’m honored.
