My poor children - girls...I am sorry. You won't know this for a while (please God, not for a L-O-N-G while) but you will have National Geographic boobies some day just like your mommy (National Geographic boobies are the boobies from pictures of women I remember seeing in the 1970-1980's National Geographic. Normally The pictures were from Africa where the bra had apparently not been introduced or they have realized what we all know...bras are not comfortable, are designed by a man to make boobies do things they should not do, and should be burned when ever possible.).
How do I know the girls have no shot at small, pretty, perky boobies (unless they buy them)? The power of observation is amazing. I have big boobies, my mom is not small, Big Grasshopper's mom is on the larger size, and BG's sister also had big ones before she had them flopped, chopped and pulled up (I am so jealous by the way).
So there you have it. They have NO chance EVER to know what it is like to have small, pretty, perky boobies. One minute they will go from flat as a board to D size and not even hardly blink an eye. There will be no Victoria Secret, no pretty colors, no pretty patterns for them unless they are just starting out (oh who's kidding...I am never buying my children Victoria Secret bra's or pretty bra's for that matter). There will be plain white, nude, and black bra's in their futures. So how do you tell a 9-10 year old girl that one day she will have National Geographic boobies and she can never shop at Victoria Secret? That is one more question to add to my list of things to figure out before I have to explain puberty. (please Dear God, let that be a L-O-N-G time from now as well!)

Rich Famous Men....Here We Go Again!
http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/03/18/jesse.james.ppl/index.html?hpt=C2
So here we go again....Yesterday it was Tiger Woods, Charlie Sheen, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, etc...today it is Jessie James. When will beautiful women, ugly women, fat women, skinny women, funny women, hateful women, young women, old women, middle aged women, short women, tall women, christian women, agnostic women, faithful women, and any other women not covered in any of these catagories rise up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! This is getting ridiculous!! I know it is human nature these days to see and want, but when does taking a vowel and saying I love you, trust you, want to be with you, remind these men that you CAN'T have everything they want?!? (Thanks for letting me vent...go back to your regularly scheduled programming.)

For The Best 5 Year Old Ever!
Dear Big Girl!
Wow! What a year you have had! It doesn't seem possible that you are 5. I feel like it was just yesterday when I was screaming at Dr. Hannah to get you out of my body. :) Your labor was probably the hardest thing I have ever been through physically in my life. I was in labor for 14 hours with 3 1/2 hours of pushing (some day you will know what that means). You changed my body and my life and I wouldn't have it any other way.
You have grown up so much this year. You are not my timid little girl any more. I think you will always be more reserved than Little Lady, but you definitely are not a scared one that is going to sit on the side lines while everyone else is having fun. You are always going to be in the thick of things, you just won't be as vocal about it.
You know most of your letters and can spell anything I tell you letters for. You are starting to put together letters with sounds and I know it won't be long before you are learning to read. You can count to 20 and can count to 100 with help. You know all of your colors and shapes. You can write your first and last name without help, your sister's name, mommy, and daddy. You love spelling and writing. You always want paper and pen or pencil to write and love doing crafty things.
You love watching TV and playing on the Wii. You are so good at the Wii and have even beaten me a few times at bowling (sad I know). You also love making a tent, hiding so I can find you, playing baby and reading books. You love playing outside, riding your scooter and bike, writing with chalk, and blowing bubbles.
You love Nylah. I think that has been the biggest surprise I have had since getting Nylah. You love picking her up, carrying her around, and having her lay on you when you are on the couch. You wish she would sleep with you at night but complain she makes too much noise and snores. :)
You are becoming such a big helper. You are good at putting the silver ware away and doing small chores like feeding the dog and putting your laundry away in the right drawer. You don't like helping all of the time to pick up the messes you make but you are trying harder to help when asked.
You are so ready to go to Kindergarten that you can't stand it. You thought when you got your shots back in September that you could go the next day. When I told you that I had registered you for kindergarten you thought you would go tomorrow. You are going to have a blast...and I am going to miss you something terrible. We found out that you won't be going to the elementary that is near our house but one that is across town. I pray you don't know the difference and will have fun no matter where you end up.
You have become a little girl that I adore and admire. You are thoughtful with your sister and loving with the people around you. You are so smart and I am SO proud. I miss holding you, kissing your little head, and those sweet little moments that I had with you when you were little. You aren't little anymore and that alone kills me. I know this is the journey of life and I can't turn back time but I wish I had a few more of those moments. Those cuddle moments are becoming less and less and I know before long you won't even want to have me in the same room. That will also be a part of our journey. But for now, I will hold on to the moments that you sit in my lap and we have cuddle time together. I will also cherish more the moments that you let me help you and do things for you because that too, I am sad to say, will be going away before long.
I love you my girl! I love you more than life. I love you like I love breathing. I LOVE YOU from head to toe and in between. Your my baby that isn't a baby...just don't grow up too fast. It is already killing me that you are 5!
My prayer for you is that each day you don't take yourself too seriously, you learn that you are so special, and that no matter what mommy and daddy are right behind you cheering you on.
Happy Birthday Big Girl! You are the best! :)
