the big five

Today is a special day in the Clothesline family.


This tiny little baby of mine,


that eventually became very roly-poly,


is no longer a baby.

She has, at last, become a big kid.

Alas, she is now FIVE years old,


with a five year old body big enough to match her huge personality.


Time does fly. It really does. I can remember when she was tiny, her loud, mouth-wide-open cry, her scooting - not crawling. And now she's five. Tall and fast. Sweet and helpful. Funny and full of love. Love for her sister, for her cat, and anything that crawls or leaves a trail of slime. She's complex, this one. Girly to the core...loving shoes and fancy jewels, but also loving to get dirty and climb and jump and play.
Happy Birthday Baby!
