My Five year old!!

Atazia, Atazia what a sweetheart..Full of energy and laughter. She is now five years old and she let's everyone and I mean everyone know it too.. In fact when we went to the store the other day she went up to a older gentlemen and said "Guess What?" he said "What?" "I am five (she holds up her hand with her fingers spread as far as they will go) and I am so big now just like my brother!" the gentlemen smiled and said "Wow, you are big!" she said "I know" so matter of fact like that it made him chuckle then she just walked away with a great big grin.. I thought how funny, she is just so proud to be five... What is it about that number that makes kids so giddy with excitement?... Is is the start of school, or just another year older, is it some kind of mile stone? I'm not sure all I know is that the fifth year is SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better then all the years before. They have more vocabulary more coordination more desire to be independent and I love that... (Don't get me wrong I love to see them grow but this year and forward so far have been my favorite... NO more potty training less fit throwing etc.) I am looking forward to see what kind of women my energy filled, giddy, silly, fun, cute little girl will turn into.. Life is good, God is Great and people are crazy!!
