My Girl is SIX
Friday, November 03, 2006
Today is a little bittersweet.
D turns six (6) today. Six is a big girl. It means no more sucking your thumb -something that has been hard for me to push - but six really is too old to suck your thumb. It means no more sippy cups because six is really too old for sippy cups, especially when your two front teeth are wobbly. So while six is a big-fun-exciting deal and means getting older, it also means bye-bye to my baby.
D had a birthday pancake for breakfast this morning with one candle in it to blow out. When I went in to wake her up this morning, I asked how she was feeling and she said, "I feel like I am SIX!"
This is the first time my birthday girl has gone off away from me on her birthday. She had to go to school of course. With an August birthday, I never had to go to school on my birthday, so that's a foreign thought to me.
Do you know what one of my very first thoughts was upon awaking this morning? I thought about O, D's birthmother. I prayed a little prayer for her (O) and I wished she could know how wonderful this girl is. How smart, and beautiful and funny she is. What a Gift from God she is!! I am so thankful for my Gift. Thank you O and thank you God!!
