6 year old
On Tuesday, Eden turned 6 years old. After some deliberation, we decided to get her a computer for her birthday. For months she has been asking for one, and fighting with us when we wouldn’t let her use ours. (Who thought I’d have to compete with a 5 year old to use my own computer?) So when it came time to asking her what she’d like for her birthday, she was steadfast in her request for a computer.
So we found an eMac in fantastic shape on Ebay for a good price and barely got it here in time – thanks to all the snow in the mountains! Eden was so, so, SO excited when she got her present early Tuesday morning before school. (Hence the sleepy daddy in the background.)
We also celebrated her birthday on Sunday with a little tea party with her kindergarten friends. Because our gas stove wasn’t here yet (still isn’t!), I bought unfrosted cupcakes from the local bakery and decorated them myself. Hello Kitty, of course…
I just can’t believe that she is six years old. But if you were to talk to her, she would convince you that she was like… 19.. I can’t believe how mature she is these days. And I’m very proud of how well she is doing in school. The other day she read all 64 pages of “Hop on Pop.” It’s such an unexplainable feeling to see your children thriving and succeeding.
