you are five and headstrong like your mom.
you are five and beyond gorgeous.
you are five and learning so many new ideas and skills.
you are five and funny. like that time you nailed that naked ladies joke you told dad, and all along you were talking about the flowers, and you knew it, and that it was hilarious.
you are five and have so many friends. but you are super cool about it all - when you tell me that two girls got in trouble because they were both fighting to sit next to you, you state simply, “they figured it out”
you are five and those skinny little legs of your are really accented by your hunter boots that you wear daily.
you are five and Wonder Woman for Halloween, and your costume reasons were because you are strong. stronger than most boys.
you are five and when watching Ellen remind us that we need to teach our daughters to be strong and not just sweet and docile, you yelled at the television, I am strong Ellen. super strong.
you are five and still obsessed with Asian food, and trying new foods every week.
you are five and an amazing helper. the way you organize the bowls that come out of the dishwasher makes me proud - visual design/merchandising/branding seems to be in your future, even if right now you say teacher.
you are five and really taking on a love for roller coasters, screaming because they are so fun, I think I found my ride buddy finally.
you are five and still find your way into our room in the early hours of the morning, because snuggling is your thing, and has been from the very first moment I held you.
you are five and still loved to be carried, thankfully you are tiny for your age, and I try to remember these moments are fleeting and fast.
everly, you are five, and five is pretty sweet.
happy birthday miss everly mae
