Happy 6th Birthday Ashley!

My Little Girl...Princess of Pink...Ms. Ashley

How is she six? Where did the time go? I feel like each day is just slipping through my fingers. Each moment slipping away too fast! Ashley is our munchkin. When she was a baby she decided to stop growing. She didn't stop eating, her body just decided not to do anything with it. We had her in the doctors office at least once a week for height and weight checks. She was just a pinch away from being classified as "Failure to Thrive." Not a good thing! The turning point...she was 9 months old. After the nurse let me take her off the scale, Ashley climbed off my lap and proceeded to walk around the exam room checking out everything at her level. Nothing on her charts changed, but the Doctor's were convinced at that point, that the charts can't tell the whole story. (I know one day she will be in therapy to discuss her height complex. We are always telling her to grow...get taller...get a bum-she has none)

(at the emergency room for one of her visits...)

She is so full of energy and that coupled with her ridiculously high pain threshold is such a bad combination! She is always getting hurt but just brushing off each occasion with a shrug with a little bit of worry that she may have gotten her clothes dirty.

Ashley is in 1st grade this year. Her teacher sent home an "It's all about me Tee" for us to fill out for her birthday. So I thought I would share some of her favorite things with you on her birthday...
