Her birthday came and went this May, but not without spending the afternoon together. Like always, we took pictures. When we take birthday photos, she gets to choose her outfit. She refused to change out of her pyjama bottoms and didn’t want to brush her hair and I didn’t fight her on it…after all, it was her birthday. Already, she’s 5! I can’t believe this sweet girl is 5. I loved her before she was born.
This year she fought with me. She was excited at first and then didn’t want to take photos. So she pouted. I love so much that she doesn’t pretend with me. I love her so much.
She is funny and kind.
She is sassy and stubborn.
She is cool.
She is suddenly aware of how grownups pose for pictures.
She loves the bus stop.
She’s 5 and already so grown up.
You can see last years photos here. She has changed so much!
I so look forward to a time when she will be able to share her perspective on this tradition with her fabulous Auntie! 💕
