Yesterday morning, Everly greeted me with a happy "Good morning!" and "Tomorrow is my birthday! That makes today my birthday EVE!!"
Forever wanting to be bigger and more grown up, perhaps due to having an older brother, Everly has left the minor leagues - the 0-5 year old stage - never to return. She is thrilled. I am a bit emotional. But I am following her lead.
The year of being five was a big one...getting her ears pierced, starting Kindergarten, learning to read. And also of us figuring each other out a bit more. I feel like I learned a lot about what makes Everly tick and how to work with her this year, resulting in more peace and more fun. She is growing up and figuring things out, as well.
Everly makes us laugh all of the time. She surprises us with her quick wit and timing. Over the past year, she has wanted to be a doctor, a teacher, an actor, an artist, and a scientist. I am loving watching her grow.
Happy birthday to our dynamo, Everly!
Happy birthday, Everly! Great post, Joyce! I always enjoy reading about the kids.
