Our Firstborn is 6!

SK,
Daddy and Momma cannot believe that you are 6 years old today!
It was about this time of the day when Daddy left for work and I was trying to decide whether to go on in to work or call the dr. which is what I ended up doing. I drove to the hospital thinking they would send me home but at 4 weeks ahead of schedule the dr told me to call your Daddy and tell him not to dilly-dally because we were having a baby!
Things we always want to remember about you at this stage in your life. No particular order:

LOVE your high heels
tried to sneak cookies to bed the other night and got BUSTED!
still like to be rocked to sleep every now and then (and I love to do it!)
you are the fanciest, girly girl and love to get all dressed up
are interested in bugs and like to touch and pick them up! worms, frogs, etc
spending the summer with Daddy at home
such a loving, sweet , supportive and tender big sister to OM
love your friends and get so excited to see them
like being more independant but still want us to show interest in helping
strawberry cupcakes (from Edgar's) are your favorite
you don't like icing except strawberry; just give you the cake
so proud to teach your brother new things "He learned that from me!" or " I taught him that"
you are our deep thinker
love going to work with Mommy
prefer to carry your purse when you go out anywhere
still have your very first bear that you take with you places and sleep with
just had your very first sleepover to celebrate turning 6 (7 friends!)
like having your hair short and off your neck. really want it stacked in the back like Mommy's
still sneak into our bed in the middle of the night sometimes
you are so very excited to be starting a new school for first grade!
so very smart. explain something once and you've got it down!
love to work on the computer. playing games, watching pbs kids, etc
like helping out with things around the house. laundry, dusting, setting the table are a few
you dream about going back to Disney and the beach!
you crack yourself up just like your momma-we have great laughs together!
practically beg Mommy to sleep with you each night-which I secretly love!
love gymnastics and ballet. hope we can keep you in one of those
pink is your favorite color with purple a close second
