weekend recap: hello six

emeline & annabelle

you are six today and here are some things (not everything) about you:

you have one front top tooth dangling, you look so funny & cute.
you set the table for our breakfast in the morning, before i get out of bed
you talk so much it takes you 40 minutes to eat a bowl of rice krispies
you need a PLAN, always – and not just for the day! and we review this plan hourly
you love to tell knock, knock jokes. my favorite is “yoda-lay-he who?”
you ask me to open the bottle of vitamins in french
your favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla
you always want to make science experiments
you still hate brushing your hair
your favorite songs are Moves Like Jagger & Roll Away Your Stone
you always put the most interesting outfits together, i wish i could do that
you put on a British accent when you say “carpet”
you are passionate, gregarious, and have a strong sense of justice
the depth of your beauty catches me off-guard sometimes, it makes my chest hurt
i carry your heart in my heart

happy birthday
