Five years ago, I was settling into my first (very cold) days at home with a brand new baby. Watching the snow fall through the window and wondering what on earth I was letting myself in for.
Yesterday I was helping my daughter recover from Saturday's On The Day Frozen birthday party spectacular, and trying to interest her in a light snooze after swimming and a soft play lunch. Today, she's packed off to school as if nothing ever happened.
Five. How on earth has that happened? I've been trusted with the well-being of a small, dependent human being for 5 years, and have managed not to break her. She's done her best to break me, mind.

We even managed snow, she's convinced that it snows for her birthday, because it's her birthday, every year. Even when experience has showed it only snows about every OTHER year, and despite her best Frozen singalong efforts, there was nowhere near enough to build a snowman, though it did look the part.
The melting Olaf biscuits went down a treat with the hoard of marauding 5 year olds who invaded my living room, and somehow the only casualties were one of my fingernails and a slight spillage of orange squash onto a mat that was down for exactly that reason.
Happy birthday little lovely.
Awww, my daughter turned five recently too. It seems like such a milestone age. She also had a Frozen party, as you say, very apt given all the snow from when they were born! x
ReplyDeleteFive years is such a long time, it's surprising how quickly it goes. Flower turned five in October and she's come on in leaps and bounds in the last year, she's such an intelligent little girl.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe she is 5 already !
