Our lively Syd-Syd is a whopping 5 years old! She has been looking forward to this for so long, of course. She said she doesn't feel any older or bigger, but she feels happier. When she chooses to be she is extremely loving and helpful, but she has learned to assert herself and emphatically declare, "NO!" when asked to do something. Discipline is always a work in progress with her since everything boils down to her choosing and the mindset she is in. Her enthusiasm for everything {she likes} is contagious! As they say, strong-willed children become great leaders, right? We love her to pieces!
Of course our tradition of breakfast donuts and chocolate milk continues. I failed and forgot the birthday banner, which was pointed out to me numerous times.
She chose Red Robin for dinner. Just for the sundae of course. She is very good about sharing her treat with the sibs.
Her friend, Natalie, brought some yummy cupcakes so I was off the hook making a cake this day.
She is beautiful, exuberant, loving, and so very willing to share. She loves being in preschool (both co-op and Lilly's Pad Learning). Her enthusiasm to learn and grow is fantastic. She has even started reading words and doing math. She took on the challenge of learning to ride her bike without training wheels this past fall and accomplished it with minimal injuries. She loves ballet/dancing and dressing up. She also loves soccer and t-ball and motion. I'm pretty sure this silly kid doesn't realize she is constantly moving and making noise of some sort. Her smile lights up the room and her laughter is contagious. Happy birthday to our sweet Sydney and may this coming year be filled with even more fun.
