Biz's Sweet 6 - Six going on Sixteen!

Alright folks.  It's time to pause the whole race obsession and incorporate this whole "balance" portion of the blog.  It's been a big few weeks.  And the biggest thing is - my sweet girl turned six!  Guys, I know.  Ever since this little munchkin arrived in the world big fish style, she has barreled through life full speed ahead with her own bizzy ideas and charm.  Watch out world!

And here she is, the big six.  Every single year, having a front row to watching this kid experience the world is....unparalleled.  Parenting isn't easy by definition, but I wouldn't trade this kid for the whole world, and every single day I feel so incredibly lucky to be her mom!  So, what's our little bixa b up to this year?

Size: 46 pounds.  Right where you should be, and I'm not surprised!  You have a super healthy appetite and eat all the things!  You are 47 inches high - which is almost enough to be tall enough for the big rides - maybe next year!

Likes:  You adore dancing - you love to twirl, tumble, do anything active!  You also love coloring, chalking, creating - anything to make the world more beautiful, whether its a craft or, um, Mommy's walls.  We are working on this....  You adore singing (fave song is currently "Fight Song", you still love your girlfriends (we have to discuss those LOL dolls though...).  You are a little gamer - you love Minecraft, Roblox, and every game Rob plays.  You LOVE to swim  - the pool, the beach, anywhere! You have so many friends and make new ones wherever you go (including creating neighborhood parties without your parents LOL). You still have about four boyfriends at any time and Dad is

concerned about the next ten years.  Hell, I'm concerned about the next seventy LOL.

Dislikes:  Cooked carrots.  Salad.  Tomatoes. Most cookies (seriously, child?).  You tend to be pretty faithful to your favorite foods, but a random new dislike crops up very now and again reminding me that you have very definite opinions about things but that you change your ways based on the world around you and stay true to exactly what you are feeling at the moment.  And that's pretty cool, Biz!  (I'll just watch those veggies.  Oddly enough, you love broccoli, which is weird for a kid, but hey, you're a Biz!

Sleep:  You are pretty rockin with this!  You still come into our room when you have a bad dream, but you tend to sleep like a rock and are definitely not the early bird unless its a special day (like getting up at 4am on Mother's Day to wish me a happy day - awww).  The good news is, whenever you cant sleep you snuggle right up to me and never, ever move.  You are such an awesome little snuggle buddy and I absolutely adore our snugs time (please don't ever change, sweets). 

Eating:  You have such a healthy appetite.  You LOVE Ramen noodles (mmm noodles) and would eat them for every meal if I let you (a dollar a day? hmmm.)  You also adore chocolate cake, tacos (on Tuesdays) and soup!  New favorites happen regularly - sometimes it takes you quite a bit of time to warm up to a new food but we pivot as needed.  

Milestones/Firsts:  This year was such a fun year!  You learned how to do a cartwheel.  How to cannonball in the pool and jump in. You played in a soccer league for the first time.  You are learning right now how to ride a bike without training wheels and how to tie your shoes.  You have so many words, and are learning how to write beautifully (the spelling is fun, but we do what we can).  You have, dear god help me, learned how to do a tik tok video (no, you cant have an account) and how to do videos on lie hacks.  Oiy.  Every day, its a new adventure and how to do something new, and its always a blast!

Best Moment: I just cant pick.  I never can.  I loved watching you chase a soccer ball.  Do a little
dance.  Make a beautiful picture for me to hang.  Have a girls SPAAAWWW night with makeup and nails.  You are so infectious and bring joy to every place in your life, little love.  People are happier for being around you, and I still cannot believe how freaking lucky I am to be your mommy.  

Looking Forward to:  You just started gymnastics, and I can't wait to see you take that one by storm.  Watching you zoom around on your bike, and starting all the new fun school activities that come with being a big first grader.  We plan to go to Disney this year and that will be off the hook.  With you....the big things are always so amazing to watch, but its the little things that are the most special...watching you chalk a brand new drawing.  Seeing your artwork.  A new dance.  Or the beautiful breakfast you made mommy (I just wont ask whats in those waffles...)

         I LOVE YOU!
