Happy Birthday, Lexi!

“I can’t believe I have a 6 year old!”  I keep repeating that to myself to make sure I understand that my BABY is 6 years old.  I mean, LOOK, she doesn’t even look like a preschooler anymore!  Just that picture taken this morning before school says so much about her. 

She loves everything bright and glittery.  She loves dresses.  She loves her picture taken.  She loves long socks that are fixed just so in her tennis shoes. Which by the way, she wears so the mulch doesn’t get in her flip flops and irritate her.  Her school teacher, whom she was getting ready to go see in this picture tells me she loves everything neat and tidy.  She’s a sweet girl that is respectful and well-behaved. 

When she’s at home, where she is in this picture, sometimes she’s dramatic and admittedly fake-cries when she doesn’t get her way.  And when that happens or she gets hurt, she always, always wants a hug.  Well, she ALWAYS wants a hug anyway.  And lately, gives two kisses, one on each cheek and sometimes a 3rd on her Daddy’s head.

She loves playing on the computer and coloring and Barbies.  She loves jumping on the trampoline and playing school.  And anything her big sister will do with her.

She’s a complete joy to our family and I feel so blessed to be her Mommy!
