Dear Giovanna, The day is finally here. You’re 5! Turning five brings the end of your preschool days. You are swimming on your own, running free at the park and not looking back to see me, unless of course, you want to impress me with something you’re doing, like crossing the monkey bars without help […]

4/21/21
When you woke up you told me this was your last day of being 4! When I picked you up from Spanish I asked you “what would you like to do for your last night of being 4?” You promptly replied “ I want to get donuts and go to Siesta Key!” So that’s exactly […]
4/10/21 – I Don’t Ever Get Exhausted!
Woke up around 8am despite going to bed so late. I was outside sitting on the lanai and you came out to tell me good morning. I couldn’t believe you were up so early. I made pancakes and hashbrowns for breakfast. You ate but commented that you didn’t get enough sleep. After breakfast you asked […]
3/15/21 – Daylight Savings Didn’t Save Us!
I knew you would have a tough time getting up this morning. Daylight savings always gets you (you are already not an early bird) and you went to bed later than you should have last night. You slept in an hour later, had to eat breakfast in the car and only had 10 minutes from […]
3/14/21 – Spring Forward – Get Lots of Fun Back!
Today the clocks moved forward an hour, so you slept until 9a, but that’s really only 8a! We played Uno (and a variety of games you made up with changing rules that happened to use the Uno cards lol) and then had breakfast. You made a birthday card for Olivia. I overhead you running around […]
12/5/20 – Ahoy Matey!
You slept all night in your room again. You came out to couch and snuggled with me. All of a sudden, you jumped up suddenly ran outside and peed! We went to Lucy Wallace’s birthday party which was on a pirate ship!! It was so fun! You got to shoot water cannons at some intruders […]
10/3/20 – When You’re Done Yawning
You slept all night in your room & came to my room at 7:30a dressed in a unicorn T-shirt & panties. I told you you needed to wear you leotard because we are headed to gymnastics first. You said, “I know the party isn’t til later so I will wait to put my Leo on.” […]
4/22/20 – Your 4th Birthday
This morning, when I woke up, you were laying in my bed with your hands over your ears, as though we had been keeping you up! You woke up while I was in the shower. You threw open the bathroom door, ran in and said “Good morning Mama!!” I said “Happy birthday sweet girl!!” You […]
4/22/20 – A letter to you on your 4th Birthday
Dear Giovanna, It’s hard to believe that you have been part of our family for 4 years, but it is equally hard to remember what life was like with out you. I often tell you that I don’t know what I did without you, but whatever it was, it was dumb! I have so much […]
4/18/20 – Happy 4th Birthday Party Giovanna!
On Saturday, April 18, 2020 we hosted a “drive by” Frozen birthday party for you, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At first, I was disappointed and thought this was going to be a sad impostor of a party, but instead it ended up being one of the best parties ever. Many friends and family drove […]
