It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Thursday night and there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s so many things I should be doing to get ready for your party this weekend. There are balloons to be found and mermaids to be cut out. And have you seen your bathroom lately? It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s getting a bit nasty. That should really be cleaned before people get here so they don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think we live like that all the time. Despite all the things I feel I need to be doing, I chose to go snuggle with you tonight. I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t done that in a long time. I doubt I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll ever get to snuggle with my 5 year old little girl again. I bet you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be 6 by the next time. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what I learned while we snuggled:<\/p>\n
Sometimes when you wear your purple nightgown you like to pretend you are a mermaid. You dive under the blanket like it was water and you peek out the side. At dance class today, Miss Annie played some music and told you to raise your hand up really high if you liked it. She played a song from The Little Mermaid and you liked it so you raised your hand up really high but Deztiney didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. Then she played a song from The Lion King and Deztiney raised her hand up but you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. She went with The Lion King song and you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really like it. But now you like it okay. What does harmony mean? Like \u00e2\u20ac\u0153perfect harmony\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in that song. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never seen The Lion King and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really want to because you think it might be scary. Have you seen it Mommy? Did you like it? No, you didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know that Aunt Lala used to like The Lion King so much that she decorated her entire room with Lion King stuff. Does she still have her room decorated in Lion King? Did she ever ask Gran if Gran would decorate her whole house in Lion King? You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re so excited for your birthday. You know that tonight is Lilli\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first night to be 6. And tomorrow night will be her second night to be 6. And the night of your birthday will be the third night for her to be 6. You wonder why your brother wants to have more than you. You wonder why he wanted to eat more pretzels than you did tonight. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I love you so much Mommy. I love you so much that I want to be with you all the time. I used to really only want to be around Daddy all the time, but now I want to be around Daddy AND you all the time.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Gosh, what bathroom floor is really more valuable than that?<\/p>\n
I love you, my little mermaid!
