My little princess makes me smile so much!! She has her times where she makes me mad and completely frustrated, but overall she makes me smile. I love the age she is at right now. She will be six in a few weeks, which is impossible to believe! She is very independent, but also very dependent at the same time. She can do a lot on her own (and prefers to most times), however, she will curl up in my lap in a heartbeat just to remind me that she does still need me! She loves playing basketball, but would much rather be getting all dolled up and pretending she is a mom to her babies. She loves using big words, even when she doesn't know what they mean! For example, when she does or says something that she considers amazing or really smart she will ask us, "Isn't that impressing that I can do that?" She has also learned to read and is trying to figure out why some words sound so different than how they are spelled. Here is one of my favorite examples....
Princess T: You know mommy, when you spell Ma-Ma it really looks like you are saying Mama. I think we need to say Maw Maw. How do you spell that mommy?
Me: How do you think it's spelled? (trying to get her sound out words as much as possible)
Princess T: (after saying it a few times..) I think it is spelled M-A-L-L M-A-L-L!
Oh how I love my Princess and her little mind!! I thank God every day for giving her to me!!
