Bridget might be my child who never ages in my mind. I honestly cannot believe that she is five. That seems so incredibly old to me and I just can't believe it! She is just a true delight to be around though and I am so glad I have her as my daughter! Here are some things about Bridget at age five:
Bridget is 43 inches tall. She grew four inches in the last year! No wonder she keeps growing out of her pants! She weighs 37 lbs.
Honestly, I think it is a miracle she is growing because this girl lives off of crackers and dry cereal. Her only form of meat is chicken nuggets. She has recently gotten back into gogurt and string cheese, so that is good. Her favorite fruit is watermelon, too bad it has such a short season! She will also sometimes eat bananas, strawberries, apples, grapes, and canned pears. :) And after four years her only beverage is still just water!
Thanks to only drinking water her teeth are amazing. Not a single cavity and they are pristine.
She loves going to junior kindergarten every day. Her handwriting is so good, she knows all the letters, and all the sounds they make. The other day she saw the word "fox" and told me what is said!
School has made her blossom into a little artist. She loves art center and would do it every day if she could. At home she loves to color, draw, cut, tape, glue and just create! Her self-portraits and quite impressive and her most striking feature is her eyelashes.
She also loved dance class this year. If you ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she will tell you an artist and a ballerina.
Bridget is such a great sister. Yes, she has her moments of getting frustrated with Rachel, but who doesn't get frustrated with a two year old? But really, Bridget is the best sister and the perfect middle child. She plays so well with Marshall and will play just about anything with him. I love listening to them in their room at night after we've put them to bed. And she is a great little playmate for Rachel. Their imaginations can soar and I love listening to them play with their ponies or princesses.
Bridget gives the best hugs when we pick her up from school. She squeezes me so tight and she does the same to Marshall when he comes out of the school building.
She developed a real attachment to Richard this summer. At times this summer she would just sob and sob for him. He actually ended up making her a video on my phone and that came in handy many times! It is rare she cries for him now, but he is still the first person she asks about almost every morning. And she is also the most exuberant when he walks in the door from work.
Bridget is a speedy bullet and her friends frequently tell me she is too fast for them.
She can be shy, but has an abundance of friends, both old and new, with Max still being her favorite.
She spends the majority of her day skipping around, around the house, down the street, at the park, at the zoo. This girl loves to skip.
She has a great zest for life and is so animated and loud at home. In public she is quiet, shy, and usually reserved. No one believes me when I tell them she is probably our loudest child.
We love this girl and are so happy she is a part of our family!
