Five

It's my baby's birthday. Yes, I know she isn't a baby any more. Yep, mom is brooding about her birthday again. She has grown 3 inches in this last year. She might be moving into her third clothes size change before the end of the school year. It's not fair. They grow too quickly.

There is something very wrong about it.

Emily is almost up to my shoulder. She barely turned 7 a couple of months ago. *sigh*

Caitlyn is our quiet and contemplative one. She is wonderfully imaginative and has taught and challenged her sister to develop her imagination as well. She has a natural grace. I'm not sure where she got it from. She is so good at sharing with her sister. She is so very easy going most of the time but every once in a while, her temper flares and she just kind of shuts down and is unresponsive (especially if she is overly tired). It is very aggravating when it happens because you just don't know what to do to help her or she won't let you anyway.

But alas, she is 5 years old now.

Pretty soon, she'll be driving and moving out on her own.
