Dear Lauren,
You are five. We rang five in with style and you had you very first birthday party with your friends. You planned your party for months and when it was over you immediately began planning your next one. You have a joy for life and a passion for parties. I'm not sure what your future holds, but I'm confident there will be lots of celebrating.
You are starting to say some very funny things like " Mom... are you thinking what I'm thinking?" and "Daddy, let's do team work!"
You told me that being five means you can do backflips and cartwheels, but you don't feel five yet so those things aren't happening.
You're in SK now and love everything about school except being asked to sit down and listen. You seem to be very close with a girl in your class named Ani and when the two of you are together you are silly and loud. Ani recently taught you what 'boobies' are. Great.
You hug and kiss your sister every morning when we drop you off at school and you tell her that you're going to miss her while she is away. You currently have a love affair going on with unicorns and still have a very active imagination.
You tell everyone you meet about your dog Molly the Beagle. You miss George every day even though you were only three when he left us.
Lauren, dad and I couldn't be more proud of you even when you're getting in to trouble. We know your stubbornness and confidence will mean great things for you one day.
You're five. Now stop aging!
Love you always,
Mamma
