It is hard to believe that Allison is 5 years old. It seems like just yesterday we took her home from the hospital. We were so proud of our little bundle of joy. The last year has been a big one. We have seen some major growing up over the last year. First of all, she is growing like a weed. None of her size 4s fit anymore and even some of her 5s are too small. Secondly, she became a big sister for the second time. She is a great one too. Some of the things that come to mind are how much of a help she has become with Connor. She holds his hand going into young 5's and coming out. She helps him all time, whether it is getting into the car, getting into a chair (which he likes to do himself), or climbing at the local indoor play spaces. Allison constantly impresses my friends with how good she is to Connor. Yes, she has her moments, but overall I couldn't ask for a better little girl. Allison loves to hold Ella and when she talks to her a HUGE smile appears. She loves her big sis. She is really into doing crafts. Pretty much anything that she can cut, color, glue, or paint and she is a happy girl. She LOVES ballet and has become quite good at it. One of her favorite things to do is to play the Wii with her dad and they spend a lot of time reading books together too. This year has been the animal year. For several months all she wanted to check out from the library were animal books. We all learned a lot about animals. Allison started young 5's in September and made a very easy transition to it. She made friends easily and loves her teachers, Alisa and Courtney. We are so proud of the progress she has made this year and we are really looking forward to the coming year. Being a 5 year old means starting kindergarten and start of the rest of her life. We love you, Allison!
