FIVE!


Lilypie 5th Birthday Ticker


Bronwyn is five whole years old today. And what a treasure she has been to us these years: we love life with her!

:: She is a most cheerful little girl and greets each day with delight. Her mother and older brother especially benefit from her sanguine and carefree disposition.

:: She loves playing dress-up. More than most anything. Oh, and puzzles. And animals. And good food. And pretty dresses on Sunday mornings. And playgrounds. And new shoes. And ribbons in her hair. And splashing in mud puddles. And... well.. pretty much everything!

:: She is quite the gardener. The boys could care less about what Daniel or I may be doing at any given moment in the gardens, but Bronwyn is often found pulling weeds with us, or admiring the tomatoes on the vine, or wielding the hoe between the rows of lettuce.

:: She wants to take dance lessons this year. I am going to do my best to find some sort of program for her to participate in as I think dancing will be a good fit for this not-athletically-inclined girl of ours. (She'll swing the bat and run as hard as she can, but I must say that she looks quite comical the entire time. Hmmm... wonder where she gets that from?!)

:: She began her year as a homeschooling kindergartener this week, which is very exciting to her. I think she may end up being much easier to teach to read than I had anticipated, which is very exciting to me.

  9. @angelwez - Jocelyn was born on the 10th; Bronwyn was born on the 12th. Since Jocelyn is Bronwyn's only "girl cousin," it's pretty awesome that they're so close in age!!
