5 year old Liberty

I can't believe we have a 5 year old. It went by so fast. Although Liberty acts way older than 5 (her best friends are 7 & 8 yrs old), it's still hard to believe.

In January I took the girls to a ballet performance. It was fun and so cute! I can't wait till Libby's in a big performance! She loved it. We ended the night with some Baskin Robbins ice cream cones. 

Liberty still loves school and friends and being outside with her friends. This year we did a big party, a My Little Pony party to be exact.  It was pretty crazy and she got spoiled and she loved it. I was pretty proud of my drawing skills making a "pin the tail on the pony" game. Other activities were Rarity's jewel hunt and temporary tattoos.

We love our helpful 5 year old. She loves her little sister so much and is always trying to pick her up and make her laugh. Liberty is the smartest in her class and is starting to read. She loves to write sentences which is so cute. I love finding her funny notes and trying to decode the phonetic words. Her teacher says she can count to 89. Apparently she can't remember the 90s. I think her teacher really enjoys her, she always has good things to say about her. Libby also knows mommy's phone number and loves writing it all over the sidewalk in chalk...and on lots of her papers. I'm a little afraid to teach her our address because with how friendly she is, she'd probably tell everyone she meets.

At school they do "Friday Fun Day" where they paint their faces. Liberty of course loves it

Liberty still loves art. It is always trying to take over our house. I have to sneak throw away drawings all the time, because she "needs" all of them. I really should do better at mailing them to grandparents. Liberty is also still doing ballet. She is pretty good and knows what all the french names to the moves are. It's fun to watch the little girls practice. I think she will enjoy a faster pace type of dance though if we do it next year. She is frequently pulling her tutu up to her armpits and doing something silly.

Looking too old!

We set up the picnic table from grandma and grandpa and the kids had to have a picnic as soon as the last screw was tightened, lol. 

Libby loves field trips because she gets to ride the bus!

I love that Libby can pump her legs on the swings
