Lily turns 5!

Lily has been looking forward to her birthday for months. As soon as summer break started, she would wake up every day asking if it was her birthday yet, and I would have to give her the bad news which resulted in quite a few tears. I finally printed out a calendar with balloons on her birthday so she could mark off every day we got closer to her birthday.

When her birthday finally arrived, I think she was getting sick because it was a rough day. Nothing seemed to help her be happy and there were many tears that day. Plus, I think the excitement of her big day was a bit overwhelming. But, we got to celebrate our girl with a Paw Patrol cake.

Now that her birthday has passed, she's so excited to start kindergarten. She also has her first loose tooth and keeps learning and growing every day. At her well-check, she was 3' 4 1/2 ", and weighed 33 lbs.
