5 years ago I became a mom and welcomed a beautiful little girl into the world.
Today that girl turned 5! She woke up this morning to find a bunch of balloons floating above her bed. I figured this would mean an even earlier wake up call for me and Nathan, and I was right.
Was it worth it?
YES!
I have a big smile on my face just thinking about her reaction.
It’s been almost 2 hours and she still has a strong grip on her bouquet of balloons.
“I like my birthday!” she told us. 
And we haven’t even had cake or presents yet.
Savannah was holding her balloons and I exclaimed, “WoW! Look how BIG you are! You are so big!” You see, she’s been thinking that when she turns 5 she is going to be as big as her mama. Five IS a very big number, afer all. When she wants a lot of something (grapes, pennies, etc) she asks for FIVE. After I noticed out loud how big she was now, her eyes got real big and she looked down at herself, holding her little skirt of her ballerina suit out and tipping her toe at the same time. Then she looked at me and smiled her big smile, saying now she’s bigger then me! Of course she was standing on the bed and I was stil laying down, so she really was much bigger then me, right?
Scarlett loved the balloons too and because this is real life that I’m capturing here, you get to see her amazing talent at blowing bubbles.
