We just wrapped up the last part of our birthday celebrations for Lillybug. She is now 5 years old.
She is so full of life. She is this odd mix of mature for her age, but still super snugly, majorly little kidish and not afraid to dance at the drop of a hat or run around in her underwear at home. Man we love that kiddo.
Lilly’s birthday is a great example of how contentment can be taught. Even at five in the midst of presents and cards coming in the mail, us doing special things, she is content. She is thankful. And I am so grateful God spoke to us in His still small voice somewhere along the parenting journey and showed us how important it was to focus on that… and equally importantly that we were slowed down enough at that point at least long enough to receive it.
So as with all birthdays, we focus on showing them how special they are to us. As I mentioned in the first bday post, we want to communicate the message that we are super glad you are here and that God chose us to be your familia.
