We have a 5-year-old in the house! Eeks! Although, if you ask Hannah, she'll tell you she doesn't feel 5 yet. "I still feel like I'm 4. Nothing has really changed. My hair didn't even grow any since yesterday!"
I told her to go to sleep on that and see if anything changed in the morning. If nothing else ... she's asleep! ;)
She is heading into her fifth year being an energetic, compassionate and talkative little girl! Dramatic as ever, but ... that comes with the territory these days!
The birthday pair got to go to a school field trip to a farm, where little miss was able to hold baby chicks, pet goats, lambs, cows ... who knows what else. She was certain the teachers picked her birthday to go on this particular field trip because they know how much she loves animals! Oh to be 5 and have the world revolve around you! (or rather, still 4, I suppose!)
The day before her birthday, Hannah was rather glum about turning 5. "I'll never, ever be 4 again after today. And that's kinda sad." Only Hannah would think of such things! So it was a good thing we had a day full of her favorite things. She was able to "burst" through a balloon wall around her bedroom door upon waking up, and Caleb and Marta stuck yard signs throughout our yard, so Hannah was thrilled when she peered out the window and saw hot pink "Hannah" signs everywhere! Then, we ended the day with a trip in our canoe (Jeff's present ... for the next SEVERAL birthdays!), which seemed to turn her spirits around and she was thinking being 5 is a pretty cool thing after all.
