Five Years Old

Happy Birthday to my little girl. Hard to believe it's been five years. It's gone fast. Next thing I know my little shadow will be dating and causing me ulcers.

In the meantime it's stories with funny voices, chocolate milk in shot glasses (a game we call "Hit me up barkeep" . . . maybe that's not healthy . . . it's a cowboy game I played as a kid) and princess parties.

Sigh. I wish I could bottle little Gert and keep her forever. She's one of those kids who has something different deep inside of her. She's funny, vivacious, smart and compassionate. Very compassionate for a little kid.
