Ella Bear turns 5!!!

Ah our sweet Ella Bear turned 5 today!
I still can't believe it's been 5 whole years!
She is still my little baby girl and it's just hard to believe
that she has grown out of toddlerhood into
major independence with this awesome
little personality.

Ella Bear...This is who you are at 5 years old...

You love your brother!  You guys play so awesome together,

outside, in the bath, in the house, at the park, where ever you are

you both love to play together.  Don't get me lying though, ya'll 

play so great together most of the time but man

 ya'll argue of course too!  Ya'll like to play family, school, 

hair styler (in the bath), dog walkers (walking each other) and

ya'll have an amazing imagination!  I love listening to ya'll when

you think no one is there. ;-)

You love side ponytails, tights or leggings with skirts or dresses,

very rarely do you where jeans or pants/shorts.  You love to dress

up, have your feet/legs rubbed before nap and bedtime.  You and

Parker both love tuna noodle casserole, tear off cheese 

(string cheese) and sweet potato fries. You love to draw in 

coloring books and on blank paper. You have some awesome

drawings that I will post later.  You weigh 40 lbs. and are 

tall.  

Recently, Mrs. Lindsay subbed in your class and she told me 

afterwards something she noticed about you.  She said that you

seemed to "take care" of all the other children.  When someone 

was playing by themselves you would be the one to step up and 

play with them.  Mrs. Helen says you play so peacefully at school
and you can tell how much she and all of your other teachers
just adore you!

You LOVE to sing!  You make up your own songs, sing classics and
the songs you learn at school which are classic Waldorf type of verses.
Flowers...you love them and love to pic them randomly and
bring them home to put them in a vase.  If you are outside anywhere
near grass, leaves and trees, you will always bring me a little flower, leaf
or weed and say, "this is for you mommy!"

You are an amazing daughter, sister, granddaughter and great granddaughter,
friend and we are so blessed to have you as our child!
We love you sugar bear and Happy birthday!!
