You need two hands now

Yes, my dearest Beata needs two hands now… to count her age, that is!

She is now 6 years old, and needs two hands to count up to six fingers.

First five years really flies fast.

She is now in Grade 1, and in school every. single. day.

Tonight, when I tucked her in, she gave me a big smile before I left her room.

And I don't think I'm ready for her to grow up.

(Insert big, fat tears here)

……..

Happy 6th birthday, Beata!

You will always be my baby girl.
