This morning I wrote 700 blog posts in my head about what that fact means to me and how I am feeling about it.
I struggled through it all morning.
After I dropped her off at school it almost swallowed me up.
My baby. A big girl. My littlest. Getting so big.
I came back home and went for a run, fast. And then I sewed her a birthday dress.
And then I felt much better. Happier. Calmer.
We celebrated her birthday with presents, pancakes, candles, cards and shots on her new bow and arrow. She smiled the whole day through. She does that.
I wish for her so many good and sweet and wonderful things.
Happy birthday our beautiful Pepper Berry, to the moon and back.

Its such a beautiful age. These photos you are taking will be so amazing to look back on Kate.
ReplyDeleteThey are just fantastic and really capture who your daughters are. Loads of love to Miss P and you for today!XXXXJ
Gorgeous Kate! How lovely it is to see happy little girls who are active and smiling and enjoying life. I love the bow and arrow idea too x
ReplyDeleteLovely sweet Pepper, lovely sweet mumma. Xxx
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to beautiful Pepper. It's a gorgeous age, but I am so with you on the emotional front. My youngest is about to turn seven. I don't want time to move forward. I want it to stop, just for a bit, just for me to savour it a little bit longer. Time seems to be going so fast. I think it also means, for me, that if he is getting older, then I must be.....and I don't want my youngest to get to the point where he will start to spread his wings. I'm just not ready. A little bit selfish of me I suppose, but this age they are at is one of the most lovely....so let's both make the most of it as mums!
ReplyDeleteHave a super rest of a week!
