Little Miss Nelson is 5 years old today! How did that happen? 5 feels major to me...she is now a whole hand and there are absolutely no traces of baby left in her, she has truly become a little girl. It is amazing to me to see the changes that have taken place over the past year and every day that goes by we are falling more and more in love with our Riley and the person that has become.
There are so many things that make the little person that we love so much, but what I want to remember most about Riley as she turns 5 is that she sweet but also still ornery, silly with the most infectious giggle, a singer and dancer and joke teller too. She is a kind and thoughtful friend and a sweet and patient big sister.
She is happiest when she is outside in snow or sunshine, has never met a playground that she didn't like and always has energy for a game of tag or hide and seek. She is my helper whenever I need her and it melts me when she smiles and says "I'd be glad to Mama!" Riley is a fabulous little chef and has started to try lots of new foods, but still loves pasta more than anything and always has room for something sweet, especially chocolate. She still loves her books, spends a lot of time in dress-up clothes and her favorite color is almost always purple but sometimes it's pink.
Kite flying
She is so proud that she can do the monkey bars and keep herself going on the swings all by herself!
I am not quite sure how we got to be so lucky to have this fabulous little girl as ours, but we are thankful everyday for the joy and the smiles that she brings to our life. We love you Riley Roo and can't wait to see all of the places that you will go and things you will do as a 5 year old!
XOXOXOXOXO
