FIVE on Friday!

DELL HARPER IS FIVE TODAY.

I can't believe it. I didn't think I would mind five.  I was wrong.

It started with getting our last Dolly Parton book earlier this month- "Ready for Kindergarten" and a goodbye letter from Dolly.

Then only one preschool registration form from her school.  Just Deeds'.

I always laughed at my friends who cried about 5 and kindergarten.
Karma is a bitch.

So- ONE.

 TWO.

 THREE.

FOUR.

AND FIVE!!!

How we love this wild, brave and kind little girl.  She wants to be a dog groomer, scientist, paleontologist, cook, and artist when she grows up.  She likes dinosaurs, not dolls (yet plays "family" with her dinos).  Her loyalty and love of family and friends knows no bounds.

I'm so proud to call her my daughter. She inspires me and exasperates me daily.  When I asked why she was being so rambunctious yesterday, she replied "God just made me this way, Mama. It's who I am!"  And I wouldn't have her any other way!
