Five!

You are five. How is that even possible? As always I'm having some serious mixed emotions about it. I'm so proud of the person you are and who you have become but it seems like it was just yesterday that we were bringing you home from the hospital. It's true what they say the years are short. You are just so excited to be five!

You are amazing and awesome in every way and no I'm not just saying that because I am your mommy it's because it's true.

You are incredibly smart, intuitive, kind, and hilarious. You are such an old soul and love having in depth conversations when we are laying in bed at night. You are wise beyond your years, I'm guessing that comes from spending so much time with grown ups. You love to talk and never meet a stranger. You make friends wherever you go. You have a serious sweet tooth and never turn down anything chocolate.

You are crazy about Paw Patrol, your friends, Emma, writing, coloring pictures, and randomly Spanish. You are always asking me how to spell words and how to say things in Spanish. You have come so far along with your reading and even your teacher is impressed with your math skills (thanks Gigi). You love church and already know so much about the bible and Jesus. A lot of our in depth conversations stem from questions about God. You love to read your Children's Bible every night and always answer the questions in my class and Children's Church. I'm so proud of your love for Lord and hope that you always have a close relationship with him.

You are highly competitive and hate to lose. We are working on it but what can I say you get it honestly. You are very athletic and I am pretty sure you already run faster than me. You can definitely dribble a basketball better than me. You love the Gamecocks (sorry Daddy) and always want to go to the games with me. You think every game we are going to is a football game. Your favorite thing about the baseball games is the playground and ice cream.

You have a strong personality and you love fiercely. You give the best hugs and kisses in the entire world. I love you so much Campbell Grace and I am so proud to be your mommy. You make me proud and can't wait to see the great plans the Lord has in store for you. Happy 5th birthday sweet girl, I love you to the moon and back!
