I cannot believe my Payton is 5! She was so excited for her birthday this year and was counting down even before Halloween.  Being at preschool with the other kids, she knew about different toys and asked for a pillow pet for her birthday, she has slept with "Elizabeth" the unicorn almost every night since.  Our friends Paul and Becky gave her a Fancy Nancy who now has her own canopy bed, just like Nancy in the book.  She has played and created and glued with all her new art supplies, and worn all combinations of her new clothes and play shoes.  Yesterday I helped her with the bead art, counting out the colors and putting them on to make Ariel. She had a great day and is such a big girl!
