***This post has been sitting in my drafts for 3+ months. A happy belated birthday post to Flora.
To my dearest Flora,
Thank you for being the little human that you are. Your smile lights up a room! We loved celebrating your 5th birthday with you, complete with a Princess Jasmine cake and a sushi dinner. I can’t believe all of the new things that you have done this year. Starting school, making new friends, drawing and colouring for hours on end, exploring Italy, Ireland, and the U.S., beginning to learn how to ride a bike, dancing your heart out and performing in your very first dance show, learning your numbers and letters, learning how to play card games, and your love of face paint. My favorite part of watching you grow up is the love your share with everyone, especially how much you love your little brother. I wish I could freeze time and keep you this age for just a little longer, but as you say all the time, “I can’t Mom. I’m growing up.” Yes you are and we’re excited to see what age 5 will bring this year!
Love,
Mama
