"Mouse (our nickname for Miss H) can you just stop growing for a little while, mummy can't keep up" I whispered to her at bedtime the other night. "But mummy, I just don't know how to stop" she told me. "Could you maybe just try, for me?" I asked. "Ok mummy" she said "I'll stop growing, but only until I'm 5 because when I turn 5 I'll have to be 5 and not 4!!" "Okay, that'll do" I said as I kissed her goodnight.
Today she is 5! That means she'll have to start growing again and there is nothing I can do about it except watch her with a heart so full of love it could burst at any given moment.These five years have been a whirlwind of smiles and I am so proud of the little girl she is becoming every day. I adore her big heart and untainted view of the world. The way she still needs me when she's feeling a little shy or nervous and her huge enthusiasm for just about everything life throws at her. I couldn't be more proud of you my darling and I love you to the moon and back. Happy Birthday.

ReplyDeleteThanks Lucy. She was so excited she didn't stop talking for the entire day. Happy girl, exhausted mamma x
DeleteIt's lovely to see how she's grown and changed over these 5 years. 5 years seems like a long way to go for my two little ones (3 years and 9 months) at the moment, but I guess before I know it, it'll be gone in a blink of an eye.
