So today my baby girl officially becomes a big girl. She is 5 years old and very proud to be. I love her more than I could ever imagine, and she keeps me on my toes. As a parent, my first thoughts on either of my children's birthday goes back to their day of birth.
Tristan was overdue, so after a little help she came into the world on a Friday afternoon, with the biggest frown on her face and eyes wide open. At times, that personality still shows up, but all and all she has a big heart and a big smile.
It took 2 1/2 years to get her here, and that was truly a time when faith and patience came in to play. I used to confess over my body every day, that it would function as it was designed by God. Even through all of the pain and disappointment of those days, weeks, and months, I knew God had a greater plan for us, and boy did He.
Tristan reads far beyond her age requirement, understands math concepts and so much more. She uses big words, better than some adults and knows what she means when she says them. She loves to learn about any and everything. God has entrusted us with a precious gift and I am proud to say I am her mother.
So Happy 5th Birthday baby girl, or as she calls herself "The T."
