Happy Birthday, L.A. Girl!

My sweet baby girl - you turned five years old today.

Five.

Five years doesn’t seem like that long of a time, but it has been a lifetime… for you. And for me, too. You’ve gone from a helpless little burrito that practically fit in the palm of my hand to a snarky young girl who is almost too big to pick up.

Happy fifth birthday to you, honey.

You’re smart, funny, gorgeous and a bit geeky… which is cool in my book. You are me and your mother smooshed into one great person.

Today, we went to dinner with grandma, your mother and me, and your little sister.

Before that, your mother and I went to your future elementary school to register you for kindergarten. Yep, school will officially begin for you in September. We met your teacher, your principal, and a few others who will help your educational career begin. We sat in your library, on tiny chairs, and listened to all they have planned for you.

It’s going to be a fun adventure.

I’m very proud of you and I love you very much.

Happy birthday!
