Today is a big day for Annie as she hits the big 5. That's right, it's her birthday. On top of that, it is her first day back to school, which means that we do our school morning ritual. This starts with me getting ready and waking her up before 8am. This morning as I entered her room it was still dark (thanks to the curtains). I slipped into bed next to her and sang her Happy Birthday. She woke up slowly. When I went to turn on the light, she squinted and looked at me as she said, "my eyes are limited in the morning." I found this to be a profound (grown-up) statement from a now 5-year old.

My little princess is growing up so fast. I pray that my eyes won't be limited to her needs, and that her eyes can be opened to pursue her passions.
