The New FiveYear-Old in the House







Allison woke up today and declared to the world that she was FINALLY five! It had been a long wait for this milestone. She said that she has officially given up thumbsucking and will only do it when there is singing or music is playing (she was very specific about that exception). She also added that she'd grown and her legs were at least 10 feet long now.
We swam at the pool for almost four hours, played at the park, then had pizza and cake. Actually, Allison didn't want cake and just wanted to blow out her candles. She got lots of nice presents and money, and finally was given her very own camera (digital). We anticipate that she will take many memorable pictures with her new camera (hopefully not all butt shots). She had a very good day :)
