5!

Yes, you little Cecilia are now 5!

October 29, 2006

we were gifted a teeny-tiny dark eyed beauty.

For months you had dreaded your 5th birthday.  How can a little girl not want to turn 5?  You kept saying you didn't want to grow up.  You stated more than once how you wished you could stay my "little girl forever".  That you couldn't "bare to see me get old".  Some of what you said troubled me.  Over time though, and as we neared your birthday, you seemed to have gotten over your 'hurdle'.

There is still a mention or two about living with your Papi and I until we are grey and grandparents.  But just the other day you asked me,

 "how is it that bills get paid".

And you made a realization that,

"adults can have dessert, even when they don't finish their dinner".

So, I suppose you've come to terms with one day becoming an adult.

Until then,

you may stay our little girl for as long as you wish!

With candy apples, lollipops, chocolate covered pretzels and cake!

That will be just alright with me!
