Fun Doesn't Begin to Describe it!

I love this little girl. She is so much fun to play with. She is posing for Leah, who got these "jams" for her. We were afraid this might be the last time she got to wear them because it is getting warmer and she is getting bigger. When she posed, I got a little sad thinking that I may capturing "a last". Elli will be 5 in one month and it is hitting home that there have been many last times as she is growing. We will soon have the last night in her nursery since we are changing her room into a big girl room. We will have the last time she sleeps in her toddler bed. The last time she sits with me in the rocker in her room. (it is moving to our room to make space for a bigger bed) I have cried many time thinking of her getting so big. 5 seems to be a hard age for me, though she cannot wait. I thank God for the time He has given me to be there for her lasts. Here is looking to the future of firsts:)
Elli was at first terrified of me in this tunnel. (I was acting like a monster) She ran from me screaming. Then, she saw it was fun and we got in here together. It ended up being quite a fun little game:)
Getting ready to attack daddy!

Adorable! It is so sad thinking of how big Elli is getting - she looks so cute in her jammies. Also, ummmm, you would scare me too - tunnel monster

I'm sure every birthday is a little sentimental, but 5 does sound so big!
