I can't believe she is 5! It's been several days of partying with the Kelty's as we celebrate Sarah Clare. Her birthday was the 27th and our tradition involves balloons and signs posted by the time the birthday child awakes. Then they get to pick out the dinner for the day. Sarah Clare thought long and hard...then requested Macaroni and Cheese. I noted how fun it would be to make it with her from scratch when she informed me she wanted the blue kind, from a box....My heart was broken...I just didn't feel good about my "motherliness" if I made that for a birthday dinner. Instead, Sarah opted for breakfast for dinner. We had pancakes, waffles, cinnamon rolls, sausage, eggs, and strawberries.....everyone chowed down! The next day we had a party for her with 5 friends and her brothers at a Jump Castle place. We had pizza and cupcakes and jumped the day away. All had fun, and Sean screamed when it was time to leave!
Our big girl is such a helper. She helps me throughout the day by playing with Sean and helping me cook. She is happily learning to read and loves spending time with glue, glitter, markers, and paper. House and princesses are her favorite games, although she will gladly play Pokemon if it means her big brother will give her attention. She loves to be with her Daddy, and she looks forward to going out for High Tea with him on Saturday. Watching her grow into a young lady is such a joy, but happening too fast. God has blessed her with plenty of compassion and generosity. She happily looks out for the feelings of others and tries to make everyone get along. At her birthday party she introduced 2 friends in the following way...."Erin this is Alissa, Alissa this is Erin--(they then shook hands)...now let's all go play". She did this all by herself!
