Well, now I am the mother of a 5 year old. My little Zoe has turned 5 and will be starting kindergarden in less than a month. How did this day creep up on me? I was just getting used to the idea of having her in preschool (loving it, by the way). There is this weird reluctance however to let go of my little child and send her off to "the world" to survive without me ALL DAY! OK, I know this slightly dramatic. Zoe will actually love it. She gets so bored durning her brothers nap time, school will keep her busy. People say it all of the time, how fast it all goes. I'll take a breath or blink and next thing I know she'll be driving. This little girl for sure keeps me on my toes. She loves to push my limits. She loves to ask me for anything all day long. Zoe is very concerned with scheduling out the day. It's always,"mom what are we doing today? How about after that?" or ," Can we go to {so and so} house" She can bring out the best and worst in me. I'm still trying to figure out how to be a better mother for her. She loves her brothers!!! She is best buds with Jude. Watching them play together is one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. She also loves being a minnie mama to Kian. Her friends are also very important to her. She learned to ride her bike this summer with no training wheels. She has had a bike for 2 years I think and rarely rides it but one day she told Jamin that she wanted to try it without her training wheels. So, one evening is all it took and she did it! Zoe is also quite the swimmer. Last summer I couldn't even get her to put her face in the water and now she can actually swim which is a big relief to me. I love that she is a hard sleeper and will sleep 11 hours at night and sometimes even longer if her brother doesn't wake her up. She loves to sleep on the top bunk. She has her own room but chooses to sleep in her brothers so she can have the top bunk. I also think she thinks her brother will scare off any monster in the night. She loves to draw and paint. She loves Hello Kitty, Rupunzel,My little Pony, Barbie, and any other girlie thing. I love this little girl! Happy Birthday ZoZo.
