FIVE years
A whole hand
Since the very day
That our family began
It's hard to believe
That these years have passed by
That they really have gone
In a blink of an eye
You're the smartest of smarts
As logical as can be
You're stubborn and feisty
But oh you are sweet
We love you our Charli
You make us so proud
You're gonna rock FIVE
We have no doubt!
Happy Happy Birthday to our beautiful FIVE year old!
Becoming a mother five years ago seems crazy to me, but here we are, with an almost Kindergartner on our hands. About to enter into this whole new chapter of our lives. As I have reminisced on her yearly updates I have noticed that some things haven't changed with our Charli Adele; her incredible intelligence {we hear it ALL the time from our Pediatricians "she is well beyond her years"}, her logic {I have never in my life met a child as logical as Charli}, her fear/cautious side {she won't do anything if it could be potentially dangerous}, her leadership, her stubbornness/strong willed personality {she knows what she likes and what she wants, and she won't stop until she has it}, and her creativeness {she has a mind like no other. she draws every single day, her favorite thing to do is paint, and she has started writing "books"}. I hope that these traits continue to mold & shape our baby girl into the strong woman we know she will be.
Charli Adele,
Daddy and I could not be more proud of the beautiful young girl you are becoming. You our child, made us a Mommy & Daddy and there is no greater gift in this world then being just that. You are an amazing daughter, sister, and friend. Your attitude may get the best of you sometimes but we are so thankful for your kindness and well mannered personality towards others. You are so caring, loving, and as independent as they come. You want to do everything on your own {because you know, you're five and all, and you know how to do ALL the things}, but those moments when all you want is to curl up in our arms & lap, reminds us just how small you still are. The days can be oh so long, but boy are the years short. You and your brother fight and bicker like crazy but deep down you love him so. He looks up to you sweet girl and loves you so much, you are forever his big sister! We pray that this year is your best one yet and that you continue to be exactly who you are meant to be.
