How did that happen? It is hard to believe that Lorna, my baby, is now seven.
Standing by the wall growth chart, I realize that she grew 5 inches this year! She is now 49.5 inches tall and has gained over 10 pounds. She has changed into a big/little girl. Her appetite is also a total change from a year ago - she eats about as much as I do.
To celebrate, her class had a party on her actual birthday. Will and I came to talk about her birth and baby years to the class, then everyone sang happy birthday. There was a scavenger hunt for a present from her teacher and then we all ate some cupcakes that I brought. (Welcome to Waldorf in Boulder - low sugar, no frosting, and no nuts or possible contamination with nuts.)
That night she wanted just our family to have dinner at home. Her preferred meal was mac n' cheese, carrots and cake pops for dessert. Then we opened all the friends and family presents and quickly had to go to sleep.
On Saturday the 22nd, we have just seven friends over for her party. First we went to paint your own pottery, then back to our house to roast marshmallows, eat s'mores, eat popcorn and drink cider, trampoline and to top it off all the girls made this huge obstacle course in our basement. Tons of fun!
