The New Big Girl in Town

Happy, Happy Birthday

Kamiryn Dear!

Kamiryn chose pancakes and sausage for her traditional birthday breakfast in bed. We celebrated her birthday with family on Saturday and she got a ton of fun girly stuff. She loved it!!! In honor of her 5th birthday, here are 5 things I love about Kamiryn:

1. Her wonderful snuggles. She is the best snuggler!

2. Kamiryn has a unique personality, she can be the BIGGEST sweetheart and also the BIGGEST stinker......she often makes us laugh and keeps us on our toes.

3. She says the most hilarious things. Here are 2 of our favorite recent Kamiryn quotes,

"Mom, you are so beautiful you make me drip snot." and

last week in the shower I was using a new kids shampoo to wash Kamiryn's hair and she said "MMM, I smell like dog." I was totally confused, because dog is not a pleasant smell in my opinion, especially wet dog. So I asked "dog? You smell like dog?" To which she pleasantly sighed and said "Yes, I smell like dog." I told her that I thought she smelled good and she agreed. I said "I think you smell like watermelon" and she said "yes, like watermelon." I was still perplexed but continued to shower her when a minute or two later she picked up the bottle of shampoo that had a larger picture of a dog on it with a little wedge of watermelon hanging from it's neck. So naturally she smelled like dog!!

4. She is such a girly girl. She loves pink, Barbie, dress up, princess, Fancy Nancy, baby-dolls, doll house and all things girly. She loves to have her hair done, especially curls. She will gladly sleep with sponge rollers in her hair and even though she has had a curling iron burn, she still loves to have her hair curled that way too. She LOVES jewelry, especially earrings. She likes to try on clothes and match her smile to her outfit. She'll often ask, what smile should I wear with this, or what smile should I wear today? (Last week after Miranda's dance picture, Kamiryn asked her "What smile did you wear?")

5. Kamiryn has a lot of love to give. Yesterday she was watching Ramona (the director of our dance studio) give instruction to the ballerinas on stage and Kamiryn said "I just love Ramona, she's so beautiful. Isn't she mom?" She loves her family, friends, teachers, pen-pals, people that we talk about, but she has never met, church leaders, Heavenly Father, Jesus, and just about everyone. That does not mean that she is always nice though!!!

And Kamiryn very much LOVES attention. So if you read this blog PLEASE, wish Kamriyn a happy 5th birthday today and I will read her all of your birthday wishes before she goes to bed tonight! And have a happy day in honor of Kamiryn!
