daughter, on the cusp

On your last day of five,
your geography of knowing
evolves exponentially,
evidenced by the changing
landscape of your laughter.

    Not only her laughter but her wonder. Her eyes will see differently at 6. Hugs and kisses for her birthday.

    How delightful to have the last day of five marked by the mother's loving pen.

    last night she said to her (older) brother something like, "i can't believe tomorrow is my last day of five! it will be nice to be six, but i'd like to be five for a little while longer."

    My boy only has four more months of 5.

    I read your lovely words all the time but rarely comment, but I just love this too much not to leave at least a hello.

    I always do a birthday type letter, but the day before the birthday captures all of the hope of the coming year just beautifully.

    She is already exponentially brighter than me, and I'm not sure how I feel about this. =\
