Pink and powerful. Careful, creative, caring. Smart, silly, sharp, studious. This is you, Julia. This is Six years old.
You want to be a make-up saloner and an archaeologist when you grow up.
You LOVE your friends and go bonkers for the. Especially your besties Penelope, Ella G, Zoey, and Penny.
You LOVE to draw, and write, and create. You are very project-minded and once you get your mind set on something, you do it. That includes making an iPad, setting up a lemonade stand, opening up your room as a makeup salon, putting on a show. Julia finds a way.
You are pretty fearless. Except sometimes for the dark and mom's tuna casserole and black holes. But, I digress. You are strong and confident in your abilities. Heck, you saw a skateboard park at a birthday party and you decided you were going to do it. And you did. Same thing for leaping off a platform to grab a cargo net. Tried until you got it. This year you taught yourself to go all the way across the monkey bars. Nailed it. Wanted to do ballet? Nailing it. Wanted to learn to dive? Nailed it. This is you.
You LOVE cheese. And processed foods. It's sometimes a bit of work for you to eat fresh fruit; though you do like fresh veggies and nuts when the time is right. You recently, for the first time, found some rice that you like (me and mama's stir-fry with bacon and peanut sauce (sounds disgusting, I know...but trust me).
You LOVE your family. Don't get me wrong. You and Aidan bicker, but your love is so pure and true and sweet for eachother that it makes me want to vomit sometimes. So sweet. You share the love with all in your orbit: me, mama, Preston, Toby, your grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins. Any cat anywhere any time.
You are SILLY and FUNNY and LOVE to make people laugh. Sometimes this leads to some potty humor (my bad), but the intent is there. You want to have good days, and know that you can control the mood in a room.
You are THOUGHTFUL and a deep thinker. You consider deep thoughts and take them to heart...you think about life and death (RIP Blueberry the Betta fish) and the planets and the future. You consider other people's feelings. You fret over why your teeth haven't started to come out yet and why you can't fool the tooth fairy.
First, you and Mama had a birthday party together with Yaya, Baba, Joe, and Sham...
Then we had your last (sniff sniff sniff) Pre-school celebration of life at school!
The day-of was marked with decorations and celebrations at home!

| You made this note for yourself! |
Then you had a girls-only pop star fashion makeover dress up awesome birthday party!
And finally a delightful dinner out with Mimi and Pops!
I can't believe you're six. You're an old soul, and a fun person, and your mom and I are so thrilled for you as we watch you and guide you and learn from you as you are growing before our eyes into an amazing young woman.
