~since this is so late, I'm just transcribing my journal entry here!
Nov. 4, 2009
Tonight I tucked you in as a five-year-old for the last time. I love the sweet smell of your hair, the feeling of your arms tight around my neck, the smile in those blue eyes.... Tonight you wanted me to sing "All Things Bright and Beautiful" before bed -- funny that you've always liked such grown-up songs....
These days you are so happy to be at home! Even for your birthday dinner you've chosen homemade spaghetti over going out, and homemade pumpkin cake for your party. You are my fun-homebody-child, when I slow down enough to BE here with you.
Age 5 has held so much for you -- you love hiking around Sprague Lake, eating ice cream, and going out to Chipotles. You've learned how to sound out many words, and how to play the piano. You've made your own group of friends from soccer and school. You love to recite school songs and poems with hand motions for us. Several times a week you give me a sweet picture with a note: "Mommy and Daddy I love you XOXOXO Love Meghan."
We love you too, little Meg.
XOXOXO ~ Mommy
