Happy 5th Birthday Piper Leigh!

12/11/18

Soooooo this post may be a week last but I have to admit I have been struggling with our baby turning 5! FIVE! We all know that by now five is a hard one for me. Its leaving the true toddler, preschool days and entering little girl stage!

Here's your birthday Facebook Posts-you had a great birthday for sure:

****Five! Piper Leigh is officially five. She woke up super early-5:15 (and we had a 2 hour ice delay so sleeping in was the plan). Tom Cubby Zimmerman is away so I convinced her to sleep with me. She did for 2 hours and she held my hand. ❤️ She was still 4. At 7:25, the time she was born, we started texting Husband and FaceTimed once he was able (he was on a plane).
Next up was gifts, and we were able to do a birthday breakfast at Waffle House thanks to the school delays! Then Piper’s school birthday and more fun to come!
I love Little so much. She’s our baby. She’s fierce. She loves with all of her heart. She’s beautiful. She’s smart. She smiles big. She’s our Piper Leigh.

And yes I may have teared up some today and I probably will some more. She’s our baby and now she’s 5. Just like that.

Birthday Fun continued! I took Tucker and Piper to a New Mexican restaurant near Summer’s cheer practice. While I was in the bathroom with Piper, Tucker talked to the hostess about getting Piper a free dessert and asking if they have a hat for her to wear. 😂💙

The genuine love these 2 have for each other melts my heart. He was so so so excited!
Piper also had a girls afternoon getting her nails done with her BFFs, Sadie and Tenley and having a cookie! It was a treat filled day for sure! Happy 5th Birthday Piper!***

This year you went from a toddler to a little girl! We love you so much! You finished 3 year old preschool and entered Pre-K. Your teachers are Mrs.Sue and Ms. Jackie and they were Summer and Tucker's Pre-K teachers and this makes my heart so happy!

You have been in ballet this past 2 school years and had your first recital in May. It was precious! You also went back to gymnastics-without Mom-Mom in the room. You let me take you and you did with with Sadie. Since then we have transitioned you into tumble class! 

Your birthday party was a Unicorn Tea Party and quite a hit! You truly loved it and it made mommy and daddy so happy!

You still love love love baby dolls and playing Family. Its precious and I love to hear and see you using your imagination. Crafting, your glider bike and reading books are also favorites of yours!

You sure have your sassy side and are a Daddy's girl for sure. Your meltdowns can be epic and we have Piper stories for sure. All filled with love! One recently was waking Mommy up at 1 am to make sure I had sent Daddy in to say goodnight! You sure keep us on our toes for sure. 

You love playing with Tucker-outside exploring, building forts, and playing games. I love to see you 2 together. 

You and Summer love to play dolls. She has been letting you play with her and her American Girl dolls!

You say hims and hers and we love it! You have this little voice when you say "Sure, Summer, Tucker" and more that we don't want you to loose anytime soon.
