Hanna is growing up much too fast. For such a long time she seemed like the baby. Even after Griffin was born, she just seemed much more needy than him. I even worried that she might not be ready for school this past September. Even though she could write her own name, she wasn't toilet trained and couldn't put on her own shoes. That seemed to change overnight and suddenly she's an independent little girl. She is shy, but very bright and artistic girl. She loves to dance and draw and lately she has been a bit obsessed with letters and reading. She brought home her school photo a few days ago and immediately named every child in the photo and told me each of their first initials. "That's Karissa, and it is with a 'K' not a 'C'. And Bradley, he's got a 'B' and 'R' together, like 'br'."
Every year we ask the kids what they want to eat for their birthdays and they get to choose whether we eat at a restaurant or at home. Hanna was very specific this year. She wanted homemade macaroni with ketchup and a cake. And the cake was to be a chocolate cake in the shape of a heart with white icing and a rainbow on it. While she was out picking out a present with Grandpa, I iced the cake, with 3 very willing icing assistants.
She is going to have a friends' party another day, but she is having a hard time understanding that day is not the day of her birthday.
Kira could not stay out of the photos! She wanted to model one of Hanna's costumes.
I hope all your wishes come true!

So so cute, all your children are beautiful. Can't believe my Hannah is almost 5 YIKES. I know what you are saying about all of a sudden growing up. My Hannah still wears a diaper at nighttime. She is dry most of the time but has the occassional mishap.
Love reading your stuff. Hugs.
