5th Birthday

Well, this is what a 5 year old looks like. She is so excited to be 5. All day she kept saying, "Mom please just say it again, please just say Happy Birthday 5 year old". She gets to choose what she has for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She chose donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast (no big surprise there). She chose McDonald's for lunch (I tried every trick in the book to change her mind) and we had pizza and cookie cake at home.
This is Emerson's most priced possession right now. This is a LaLoopsie Doll. She has been talking about these for months. Supposedly they are the modern day rag doll. They have birth dates and personality profiles. She LOVES it and that is all that matters. Oh, and they each have a pet. Emerson's has a pet cow.
She wanted a cookie cake with pink ballet slippers. We learned a lesson for sure. The pink icing tasted like chemical. It was terrible! No more cookie cakes with colored icing.

We can't even believe Emerson is 5. She is so bright and tall. Today was her 5 year old check-up. She is 46 inches tall and weighs 47 pounds. She is in the 90 percentile for height and weight and is doing great. Her doctor said today that he has thought Emerson was wise beyond her age. He says he has thought it for awhile. I told him he could come over and help out with the wise young drama queen anytime.
5 years old and in Kindergarten. Denny and I have our seat belts on for sure!
