My sixthborn is five years old today. Apparently, she'll be five years old tomorrow too, or so she assured me first thing this morning.
Then she cleaned her teeth - but only after I'd promised to give her a Fox's Party Ring straight after. Clear boundaries, that's what children need.
Happy birthday sixth born!
Those boundaries, eh...
I was promising my five year old all sorts of nonsense just to get her out of the house this morning...!
Five is just as gorgeous as four!
love jx

Happy birthday sixth born!
Dave - I think by this age the kids have realised that clear boundaries is what they need to give us PARENTS to make us easier to handle, rather than the other way around... ;0)

I'm a great believer in this six tomorrow stuff. My birthday is more a birthweek. Tell her a man in Russia wishes her happy birthday.

Ah. Five is SUCH a fun year. But then, aren't they all. So lucky you two, to have both girls and boys.
