Letter to Greta: 6 Years Old
Dear Grets,
Happy happy birthday Little Miss! You've been awaiting this birthday intensely, fast on the heels of Lucia's birthday two weeks ago. You were excited mainly about the arrival of your beloved bunny, the one you've been yearning for since August. For the past couple of weeks you've been talking to your bunny each night, and she (I) has told you she's been journeying tirelessly to get to you. Finally, on your birthday morning, there she was at your place at the kitchen table, the first present you unwrapped and pretty much the only one you've played with since. Lucia got a bunny, too. (And we surprised you with a lamb from the same line of toys--just as cute, and now just as beloved.)
Gra and Pop-Pop came for your birthday this year, which was super exciting. They came on Thursday, and Gra got to sit in on your piano lesson. They were there on your birthday morning--balloons, pancakes, and two presents before school. I went in to see you for lunch, then went to your classroom in the afternoon with cupcakes and goodie bags for your class. All very fun and exciting. You were wearing a paper birthday crown all day.
You got to open all your presents when you got home, and there were a lot. "There are so many presents!!" you exclaimed. It was an abundance of fun things: Num Noms, Splashlings, Calico Critters, the bunny and lamb and some clothes for them, books, Bath & Body Works things. The biggest hits were the bunny and lamb, and the Hatchimals from Gra and Pop-Pop.
Dinner was macaroni and cheese (your request), and then a chocolate cake. With Num Noms on top, of course!
It was a great day. You loved your presents and told me "I loved my birthday!" before you went to bed. You were a very happy birthday girl!
And you're such a sweet six-year-old. It does make me sad that now I'll have no more five-year-olds...but six will be great too.
