It is unbelievable that a tiny little girl went to bed last night and seemingly overnight turned into a school age kid. No more toddler, no more preschool, she is well on her way, already halfway to double digits in age! She is such a great kid, always full of life and smart as a whip. She is surprising us every day with her comments and her actions, from a diatribe about the water situation in India (did you know that people are throwing garbage in the water there?) to new French words every day when she comes home. She is a sponge and sometimes feels like 5 going on 15. We have our hands full but they are full of something very special. She is so excited for her big birthday weekend extravaganza in Toronto!
Oliver is just as happy to celebrate big sister's big day!
Isabelle had a great birthday. She was a little confused when her parents told her that when she woke up she'd be 5, as if something magical would happen in the middle of the night. She noticed immediately the next morning that she could touch the top of her mirror, something she was sure she could never have done when she was 4! She ventured out the door, proud to be 5 years old and ready to share it with anyone who even looked in her direction.
She loved all the attention at school and at daycare, even wondering why the school age kids that arrived back at 4:00 weren't also singing happy birthday to her. She had cupcakes delivered to Acorn for all her friends and teachers, and was lucky enough to have Jacky the face painter come and paint hers and all her best pals' faces, a colourful mix of butterflies and Spider-men. A great kickoff to the weekend in store for her. She hopped in the van for the drive to Toronto as happy as can be. Happy birthday to the greatest little girl we could ever have. We love you!
Stay tuned for more on Isabelle-apalooza in Toronto!
