My baby is 6!

Where does the time go? How is it that this precious baby girl who came into this world on her own time and in her own fashion is now a whopping 6 years old?! This is big to me because I remember being 6...seriously, I remember alot! So, Felicity, I'm sorry that from now on you WILL remember...I can no longer hope that you won't remember certain instances ;)

This year Felicity:
- started Kindergarten (Ms. Ueltzen) and LOVES it
- her best friend is Molly (from preschool)
- finished her first (and possibly last) season of soccer. So proud of her...she was not too fond of it but completed the entire season without much whining. She was on The Geckos and it was a fabulous team!
- started Daisies (girl scouts) with mommy as one of her leaders...this has been challenging but a fun thing for us to do together! Felicity ROCKED selling cookies this year - over 200!!
- got a pink guitar from Ma & Pa, and a big 2 wheel bike from mimi & papa...which may need training wheels for bit ;)
- is learning to read so well; Felicity picks up things very quickly; such a gifted girl :)
- learning addition and subtraction
- writing upper and lower case letters fairly well...this is the only thing we are told needs some practice, letter and line spacing
- has lost 4 bottom teeth...and is anxiously awaiting those top ones to fall out!
- is in a girls size MEDIUM (7/8)- what?!
- is 4'1.25" and weighs 57lbs...our little girl has never been little. She is still over 90th percentile for both.
- is becoming more hesitant and anxious about things but very calculated and analytical.
- is a JOY around everyone - thriving social interaction and loving others!
- is already on her 2nd book for Sparks (Awanas) - she flew through her first book.
- is learning to give much to God, starting to be more comfortable praying out loud, but definitely only when there is something on her mind she knows she should pray for.
- wants so badly to be able to do her own hair, pick out her own clothes, etc...and constantly refers to herself as "an 80's girl"...scary for me!
- really wants to own her own hair salon when she is older - "Callie will do skin & nails, daddy will sweep the floors, mommy will work the front desk and I will do hair and nails"...this has been her dream for quite some time.
- still loves to play dress up, sing & dance, and look at herself in the mirror...sometimes Daddy even has to turn the mirror around ;)

Felicity - you are such a delight! Your zest for life and love are encouraging and challenging to us. You always want to see people smile and feel important. You love playing with others, even your sister, especially if she is "playing baby". Your questions and interest are so calculated and specific. I love seeing how excited and intrigued you are by certain topics, like ocean life right now. Your comprehension of heaven, God's love and the Holy Spirit are always displayed in songs you make up and I could listen to you sing those songs all day long. Daily I'm in awe of how smart you are. God has something so special planned for you! I love watching you try to figure it out each day :) Daddy & I are so blessed to call you daughter. I love watching you grow, but I wish that you did not want to do it so quickly :(
Happy 6th Birthday Felicity Kay Clark!
Love,
Mommy
