Izzy Turns Five

As if one baby growing up wasn't enough for this mama's heart, my oldest decided to turn five today.  FIVE.  Who told her that was okay?!?  I swear she will be leaving for college tomorrow.  Time is going way too fast for my liking.

The only thing that gets me through Harper's 2-year-old tantrums is knowing that she will grow out of it, just as her big sister did.  Now listen, homegirl can still throw a fit with the best of them.  If she decides she is tired, it is over.  OHHVER.  But for the most part, she is a rational little person.  Izzy is such a sweet girl with a kind and tender heart.  She is very protective of Harper, and is always asking if she can share/give one of her toys with a friend.  I love that she is always thinking of others.  Her teacher is constantly gushing over her and telling me how sweet she is.  Proud mama.  My micro-preemie has come a long way.

Happy birthday to my favorite 5-year-old!  Now pass the tissues...
