5 Year Old Shelby

She’s five!  With blue marker fingertips, scratched off toenail polish and “princess” flowers in her hair, this is our Shelby.  This spring she finished her first year of Pre-school, and I cannot believe how much she learned and grew in so many aspects in just the course of months. Lately, I’ve begun to see and hear a lot of my mom in me, and so much of me in Shelby.  She can be a spitfire, this one, and I know exactly from where that comes.  In fact, she totally dressed herself for this photo shoot, only not in the outfit I had meticulously chosen.  But, as you’ll see, she’s got this covered.  She can melt my heart in a blink with a hug and gentle pat on my back topped off with a grin, head tilt, and a calm, collected “I love you, Mom.”

Happy 5th birthday, my green-eyed girl! Your daddy and I love ya more than you’ll ever know!
