Elise is 5: What She Says

This year has been very different than past years. Elise's birthday party was supposed to be the weekend before her birthday but she came down with the flu so we postponed it a week. Then everything with the coronavirus started blowing up and we had to postpone her party once again. Her party is now scheduled for the end of May and I'm hopeful that is late enough! When asked what she wanted to do for her birthday, back in January, she said she wanted to stay in a hotel. Since her birthday was the Saturday after spring break we decided to take a little spring break trip and I'd run a half-marathon while we were there. But then the race got cancelled and we decided it wasn't a good idea to travel so we cancelled the trip as well. Elise has been amazing and understanding and has handled all the changes so well! She has still been really excited about her birthday and every time she talks about turning 5 it blows my mind! How is she 5 already? Yesterday Carter was talking about having a lemonade stand this summer and told Elise it would just be him and his friend. I told him he would definitely want Elise to be involved because she's so cute and everyone would want to buy lemonade from her. Elise said, "Will people still think I'm cute tomorrow when I turn 5?" So cute! Read what she said about herself at 4 years old last year here and at 3 years old here.
