Avery is 5!

My first born is officially five.  I still can't believe it.  She's now been alive for half of a decade which also means that I have now been a mom for half of a decade!  For the past couple of years, I've done this little questionnaire.  It's so much fun to see the differences.

Bill and I say all the time how fortunate we are to have Avery.  She is the sweetest, most compassionate, loving girl I know.  It really is a blessing to be her mom.  She helps me out with Chloe all of the time and pretty much makes my life easier.  I am so thankful that she came first with her gentleness and kindhearted nature.  I couldn't have chosen a better role model for Chloe and hopefully #3 in the future.

Likes- Gymnastics, Chloe, her family and friends, books, Wild Kratts, animals, bugs, nature, sweets, movie nights, parks, museums, road trips, pull out couches, holidays, her blanket and puppy, and pizza.

Dislikes-
Thunder, rainstorms, Chloe taking her things, bad dreams, "scary things" in her room in the middle of the night, her bedtime routine, being in a rush

While Avery is as sweet as can be and pretty easy to parent, there have been a couple of times lately that she tells me that life is sooo hard for her.  My girl, if you only knew!  She tells me that she wants to have a job and work and not be a kid anymore.  I wish there was a way to give her a glimpse into that future and then let her remain a kid.

I couldn't be more thankful to have this girl in our family and spend my days with her!  She truly has a zest for life and gets so excited about every little thing.  Happy birthday my big 5 year old!
