My daughter Leah is going to be 5 years old this December...quite a milestone birthday! She is so excited to turn 5. Turning 5 to her means so much! It means she is getting bigger, she is going to school, she will then like watermelon and broccoli...who knew so much came with turning 5.
To me, Leah turning 5 means many other things. First, its devastating. My baby is growing up! She seems to have matured so much in the past few months, and I can only imagine how much she is going to grow from now until her birthday. I know that kids have to grow up, obviously, it is part of life. But I'll tell you what, I am not a fan.
My son is going to be 2 next month and my youngest daughter will be 3 weeks old in 2 days...I feel like the time is just slipping away! Since having Lucy, Leah has continued to amaze me with her big sister skills. She helps so much around the house. She asks to do things like sweep, fold clothes, and feed the baby. And while I snuggle with her on the couch I think back to when she was only 3 weeks old. I feel like it was just a few months ago. We were living in North Carolina and it was just her, my husband, and I. Now, we have moved back home and we are a family of 5...5!!! Life sure has changed since Leah was born, but it doesn't make it any easier to watch her grow up and change. Although I am so proud of who she is turning out to be. I love you Leah Michelle, you are such a blessing in my life!
