{Seven is Hevenly}

Miss Miss is 7 years old today!!

I’m still trying to figure out where exactly the time keeps slipping to because it seems like only yesterday, we were headed down the hallway to her kindergarten class with cookies and treats in tow to celebrate her 6th birthday.

As I made my way into the kitchen this morning to make “Pooh Bear” waffles, I took a moment to look at the few decorations I had put up late last night. I thought to myself just how much my little blue eyed baby girl has grown in the last year. She is so much more independent now. Just last year, I had to force her to meet new friends. I had to hold her hand everywhere we went. She was shy and always needed mom by her side. Today she isn’t just Mommy’s Miss Miss, she is my Ms. K. She has her own set of friends and what she sees as her own set of rules. She looks forward to sleepovers and play dates. She isn’t afraid to walk up to a new friendly face and say “hi, you want to play?” It’s been pretty incredible to watch her transform over the past year.

We started our morning with our traditional birthday song in bed. As the kids were getting ready for school, Kalyssa got a special birthday call from her daddy. This completely made her day. She was so excited to be able to talk to daddy for a few minutes on her special day.

In the afternoon, I delivered cookies and drinks to her class. She was more than happy to share the cookies that she helped make the night before. The class sang her the famous birthday cha cha song. You know the one that every kid has to sing 10 pitches too loud. I think this has something to do with making the birthday friend feel extra special =)

Our birthday celebration was small tonight. Kalyssa decided to have her first “official” sleepover this year for her birthday so Friday’s celebration will be a bit bigger. As for tonight, the big birthday girl got to pick out what she wanted Mom to cook for dinner. You ask what was on the menu for dinner, Parmesan chicken, “shmashed” potatoes, and broccoli. A girl after her daddy's own heart(meat, potatoes, & a vegetable). If she could have had steak, she would have requested that but unfortunately for her, that’s daddy’s department not moms. Needless to say the other two weren’t thrilled about having to eat broccoli but they managed to get over it pretty quickly because they knew desert was eventually going to make its way to the table.

 Presents are always the best part of the night right?!?!?!

{Can you guess what story we read before bed tonight???}

I was actually going to sit down tonight and type up a sentimental story about how my Miss Miss came to be 7 years ago but then, we put on the Wii. The girls got an early birthday present on Sunday, "Just Dance 2". First let me say, WOW, what a workout and second, I couldn’t not share this video! I apologize for the shaking, I was laughing pretty hard!! 

Happy 7th Birthday My Beautiful Blue Eyed Baby Girl!!
