Meredith turned six years old today! Can't quite believe the time has flown by so quickly, and yet this age fits her so well. She is learning to read by leaps and bounds although our special reading aloud time each day is what she loves the most. She is a sucker for any audio book we have on hand and listens for hours to the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, A.A. Milne, Mr. Poppers Penguins, Charlotte's Web, and recently the All-of-a-Kind-Family series.
She is currently fascinated with monarch butterflies - so her chosen theme for her celebration was monarchs. The celebration began this morning and carried on throughout the day (and will continue the rest of this month in various forms!). Granna and Grandaddy sent two new books with stories about monarchs which were a huge hit!
Her favorite toy gift was a covered wagon playmobil set (my old set from when I was her age!)
We had fun trying out the monarch butterfly craft punch from Granna and Grandaddy - I'm looking forward to making some sweet decorations with it!
Chocolate cake with strawberry frosting has been her request for several years now - fun spring treat!
Happy, happy day sweet Mer Mer! We love you oodles and oodles!
Happy Birthday sweet girlie. It seems like yesterday you were just toddling around! We Dieffenbachs send our love and wish you a very happy birthday!
