It seems like just a couple of weeks ago that I was a little 5-year old. Now, I’m 6. I know God is a wizard, pasta is delicious, and marriage is overrated, even if you really like staring at a boy named Julian every single day at recess. Every day, I tell Mama about how I stared at Julian. She asks if it’s a game, or if it bothers Julian, but she doesn’t understand, that that’s just a thing I do. I know that making the world a better place is as simple as making fake ladybugs and hanging them in the sky, that someone needs to teach little kids how to paint inside the lines and that someone is me, and that everything is awesome, including the song Everything Is Awesome.
Let me expound a bit:
To see how much I’ve grown, here’s last year’s video, the year before, and God how long have I been doing this, the year before that.
But you’re never too old for a bounce house party, and here are a few shots from mine.
- I’ve known Oscar since we were 3. Weeks, that is.
- Same with Evie.
- We know Duke didn’t cheat at pin the gold on the rainbow.
- Because…look.
- Eliot couldn’t even reach the rainbow.
- I’ve got this in the bag.
- You know it and I know it.
- Sorry, Evie.
- Harry looks like a superhero.
- So many pots of gold.
- I love my Dada.
- We have our own jokes.
- Duke eating, as always.
- Happy Birthday to me!
- At this point, I thought I was getting this whole thing.
- Still feeling optimistic.
- Card & gift from bestie.
- School buds
- See? Still eating.
- It takes a lot of 6-year olds to “help” open presents.
- A little bounce house down time.
- Quick puppet show
- Reading a card from Grammy (I can read now!)
- We heart Grammy
- After party burgers with our second family
- I rule this bouncy castle.
- Silly boys
- Tired birthday girl
God, imagine how much I’ll know when I’m 7!
