Dear Ava,
Tonight you went to sleep on such a high. On your last day to be a four-year-old, we had your birthday party at the "baking place" that you requested. Classmates and neighbors, most importantly, friends, filled the room and you guys worked together to make hand-made pizzas and decorate cupcakes with every sugar filled goody you could imagine. Having grandma in town just for your birthday and Gigi and Poppy coming to celebrate with you, as well, just sent you through the moon. Little do you know that you will awaken to a room filled with balloons that will no doubt start your actual birthday off with even more giddiness.
Tonight, on the eve of your birthday, you came into our room at nine o'clock saying you couldn't sleep. I don't blame you. It's a lot of excitement and anticipation turning FIVE. You laid in our bed and we tickled your back. You told us that four and a half was boring and you can't wait to be five. I love that about you. You've always been so embracing to change and see the positive in new circumstances. Ava, you are incredibly smart and capable, motivated and determined. You are so independent it's almost scary and you have so much to offer those around you. Whether it's an embracing hug or a witty joke, you are so full of life and expression.
We all love you so very much and can't wait to see how these strong character traits manifest themselves into the successful and caring person that you will become.
Happy Fifth Birthday my big girl!
Love,
Mommy
