Yesterday, February 1st, Caroline turned 6. We had a party on Saturday and celebrated again yesterday and Lawrence just couldn't understand why she got 2 birthdays so close together. He kept saying, "we'll celebrate my birthday soon, right". Sorry good buddy, see ya next December.
I love having a 6 year old. Caroline is such a great help to me. She loves to keep her checklist and make sure she gets a "daddy dollar" each day. Its rare that I have to remind her that she is my helper and needs to act as such:) She loves to learn too, its fun to teach her, except when I'm tired or ignorant, and I say, "you'll have to ask Daddy that when he gets home".
I was telling her yesterday about how I thought for sure she was a boy. I just thought that boys were supposed to be first, oh and the fact that my mom was convinced that I was having a boy(sorry to out you mom). So when she came and the doctor said, "It's a girl" I was like, "really". He said, "we're you expecting something else?" to which I replied, "um, well, kind of." HA. I am so glad it was Caroline! I can't imagine my life without my sweet, helping, leading, reading, listening, playing, running, oldest daughter Caroline!
We leave in a week for China. We will get Emma on February 14th. Mark, Caroline and I will go and my parents will keep the boys, for 2 1/2 weeks!! Pray for all of us!! Hope to post while we are there:)
