Lola turns 6

 I'll never forget the day this girl was born.

I just kept staring at her, with that red bow in her hair and couldn't believe I had a daughter.  

I couldn't wait for the day I first saw her in a dance class.  For all the pink.  For the bows and bracelets, dresses and skirts.  For a little buddy to shop with me.

 

She is such a girly girl this Lola.

She loves to shop with me.  She never gets tired and lasts much longer than I do.  She has such an eye for fashion and definitely knows her style.  And everyone else's.  She sees things at the store and tells me things like, "those shoes are Chelsea's style."  "That dress is Izzy's style." And she's usually right on.

She is the best sister in the world to Stella.

She is so patient, so loving, so kind, and so responsible with her sister.  She lets her tag along with her no matter what she's doing. . . at the park, in the yard, in her bedroom, and when she's playing with her friends.  Sometimes I have to tell her to go play and that I will keep an eye on Stella.  It is seriously just about the sweetest thing I have seen.  I couldn't live without my sisters and am so grateful that Lola and Stella have each other.  I love that they are already best friends.

This girl brings lots of sweetness to our home.

Lots of drama too, and lots of tears, and more sassyness than I care to put up with some days, but mostly sweetness.

Happy 6th Birthday to my smart, sassy, sweet, bubbly, friendly, pretty Lola Belle.  Now stop growing up.
