Ashley's Birthday ... Dec 1, 2009

Ashley turned FIVE! It is hard to believe 5 years have gone by so quickly, but they have been five really special years. Ashley adds A LOT of personality to our home. She is very spirited, which I always say doesn't serve ME well now, but is going to serve HER well her whole life. Ashley sticks up for what she knows is right, and doesn't let anyone persuade her to do something she doesn't want to do (again, good for her, but when I need her to clean her room... not good for me). Ashley LOVES to dance and is always dancing around the house. She especially loves to dance on the very tips of her toes and feels like she is ready for point shoes. Ashley essentially taught herself to read this fall, and loves to read books to me every night. It's a whole new world for her because she loves to read all of the signs on buildings and everywhere we go! Ashley ADORES her brother and can not still, even after 18 months, leave him alone. She loves her big sister Katie, and is always trying to keep up with everything Katie is doing. We love, love, love Ashley and we are so grateful for the energy and love she brings into our home.
