Happy 6th Fairy Birthday

Last week was little S's 6th birthday, and actually the 6th fairy princess birthday party she has had.  Each year we wonder if this will be the year she will want something besides a fairy princess theme (we wonder the same with Halloween, and nope, this year she will be a fairy princess again.)  No boys have ever been allowed (besides her brother and dad, who attended but did not care to join in the fairy fun) although most of her real friends are boys.  She is our little girl who has grown up in a tutu, loves ballet, and anything fancy, though she plays rough with the boys (usually with a sticky face and her filthy tutu on.)  She had a fun time at her kindermusik party, fluttering about with all the other little fairies in her kindergarten class.
She has grown so much this past year in her responsibility and emotional awareness.  She knows what's going on, gets her things done, and helps her older sister and younger brother follow through on their responsibilities.  She's reading, riding a bike, playing the piano and making art masterpieces in her free time. All her cutest misspeaks have disappeared (well occasionally there's still one or two.)  She is just growing up so gracefully and beautifully, but just so fast.  It's not looking like she'll ever lose those rosy cheeks, we're hoping anyway.  And we fit in one more fairy birthday (and Halloween.)  I'm sad this may be it, then all my sweet little tutu-wearing fairies will be gone.  Happy birthday our sweet fairy princess!

One of my favorites: she's 3 here
