My Baby is 5

My littliest baby is five years old! WOW - where did it go. She's not so little anymore. Yesterday she had a great day - we gave her a new bike for her birthday (which she picked herself, as we wanted to make sure she liked it), but daddy also got her a new Barbie helmet for her birthday as the Dora helmet was just too small for her to wear anymore. Jas gave her a pretty heart bead with a pink stone in it for her pandora bracelet, and we also got her a new barbie from the Barbie and the Mermaids tale (she desparately wanted it!).

She rode her bike around at home almost all of yesterday (when she wasn't at school):

Being a new big five year old, she also answered the phone for the first time (she looked pretty chuffed), Nan and Pop rang before school to wish her a happy birthday:

On the night of their birthday they get to pick what they want to eat for dinner - Eliza picked spaghetti with fresh parmesan cheese - her favourite at the moment (she choose Chicken Nuggets last year!). Needless to say - us adults had a nice steak instead! After dinner we had a ice-cream cake for her, and she was proud as punch to blow out the candles.


She is so looking forward to having a birthday party on Sunday with our friends and family. We have organised a jumping castle for the occassion. Should be a lot of fun - I'm just hoping it doesn't rain. All tomorrow will probably be spent, making the castle cake for her birthday party!
