My Almost 6 Year old......................

The other day I had someone come up to me and ask me how old Faith was. My normal reply is "5 Years old." (of course for the past 6 months Faith has to make sure and point out that she is 5 1/2, not 5. That extra 1/2 is very important!) Well, this time when asked her age I stopped for minute and said she will be 6 next month! Ohhhhhh, how I had to hold back tears from coming! My baby is growing up!! She will be turning 6 years old in just a couple of weeks!!!! And to top it off I just noticed one of her big teeth on the bottom is starting to break through which means we will have our first loose tooth soon!! How much more can I take! Can't I just make her stay 5 one more year!!!!!;)
It has really gotten tough taking photo of Faith these days. She really wants nothing to do with the camera. I really need to work on taking natural photos. She actually tolerated me today when I asked her if I could get some photos of her before going to school. I was able to get a few before she got too silly and ran off on me. So here are some of my "almost 6 Year old!!!!"
(i love how you can really see her eye brows in these photos. She has the prettiest eye brows.....one of the first things we noticed when we got her first baby photos)

I also wanted to make note and write this down so I do not forget (and have a Mommy brag moment!;) Today I had one of the Mom's from Faith's school come up to me (her daughter is in the morning class and there are some days that Faith's class is combined with hers) and she said to me, "I just love Faith." (She has been having some trouble with her daughter and her daughters friends being mean and sassy with one another and already leaving one another out of things) She went on to tell me that Faith just gets along with everyone and is always so happy and how she wishes they could all be like that. I beamed and thanked her and said, I hope that she will always stay that way. Faith can have her moments too, but for the most part she just enjoys life!
