2 Days And Counting........

I don't know where the time has gone. It seems like just yesterday that my little girl was a tiny baby who needed me for everything and now in less than 2 short days, she will be 5 years old.

She is learning how to read, and write full words. She is a girl scout. She is a sweet (most of the time) sympathetic child who worries about others and loves her baby brother, even though he is not here yet and she loves to help out in the kitchen, but hates doing laundry (who doesn't?). Yet, every night I look into her room, and watch her sleep, and see her when she was a baby. So small and helpless, then she wakes up and she is a teenager trapped in a kindergartner's body.

Tomorrow, as everyone knows, is Halloween. Sierra-Lynn can't wait to wear her soldier costume, Mark has a small first aid kit that we are going to hang off of her and she is going to be a medic. While we were doing her schoolwork today, I told her that it was almost Halloween and she got all excited and could barely concentrate on her studies, it was kind of cute. Then, she asked me if her birthday was after Halloween, when I said yes, her excitement rose even higher. I just wonder if I should let her open 1 present on her birthday or make her wait until Saturday to open anything. Any ideas?

Well, I gotta go. See you all later.
