Carolyn is 5. She's 5. She's 5 years old. She's no longer 4, because now she's 5.
This was something she eagerly told anybody who would listen yesterday. The moms dropping off kids at preschool. The kids in swim class. The people at the bank. Carolyn is 5.
Carolyn was a little disappointed she couldn't magically tie her shoes yesterday morning. After all. She is 5 now.
I'm glad it's over. It was a lot of fun. We started the day opening presents. We ended with cake (which Steve iced with his very own 8,000 calorie icing!). But the birthday season is now behind us and won't begin again until early September when my birthday starts the whole cycle again.
That means Carolyn's birthday is the unofficial (and quite early) start of spring and summer. No more cakes. No more presents. No more waiting, except for summer, which is pretty funny considering Carolyn, just at this moment, came out of her room dressed in shorts.
I guess I'm not the only one excited about the end of birthday season.

Well, that 5 years went pretty fast. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were drinking margaritas at your baby shower...
