A Chat With a Soon To Be Six Year Old

Savannah was particularly sentimental tonight when going to bed. She has convinced herself that she turns six tomorrow because we are having her birthday party one day early. All day long she mentioned that her routines were being done for the last time as a five year old. Her last nap, last dinner, last story etc. I laid down with her tonight and she asked for extra loves, one last five year old hug, and snuggle. She is excited to turn six but seems to understand that I am not thrilled about my girls getting older.

Before she fell asleep, I decided to interview her about her likes, dislikes, and life in general.
