Every week, Meg has a "letter of the week" at school. A few weeks ago, the letter was H...if you have a child, I'm sure you can see where this is going...
So, Meg was in the man cave talking to Jarrad and me about words that start with the letter H. She was sounding things out; horse, house, hamburger, etc, when Jarrad said "Hair starts with H, you should cut some of your hair off".
I could have kicked him!!! Seriously, you can't plant that idea in the head of a 5-year old girl who has access to scissors. So, he said "Meg, you know you shouldn't cut your hair right?" Well, he was too late - the seed had already been planted.
The next morning, when I was helping Meg in the bathroom, I noticed it...the section of hair that was shorter than the rest of her hair. When I asked her about it, the very first thing she said was "Don't tell daddy". She knew she was busted and she knew she shouldn't have done it. I'm just thankful that it was a small section and she didn't cut it off at her scalp. 
Meg loved Pump It Up so much last year, that she decided she wanted to have her party there again this year. She had such a great birthday. She loved every last minute of it. Everyone had a great time...the adults sometimes seemed to be having as much (or more) fun than the kiddos.
Meg loves music. She is always borrowing my iPod to play music outside while she plays in the backyard or in her play room. Last year, for Christmas, my parents gave Megan an MP3 player and she LOVED it. She always knows where it is and loved strutting around the house with her ear phones and her "my iPod".
This year, Meg was in total shock when she opened her gift from Meme and Poppy. They gave her a small pink music speaker that will play the songs that I uploaded on her very own iPod Shuffle. She was so excited. When we went to run a few errands on Saturday, she wore her iPod and listened to her music the whole time. I took her to Best Buy to buy her some headphones that would fit in her little ears.
Five? Is my baby really already five? How have five years already gone by? If only time would slow down, it's going by too fast.
I feel like it was just yesterday that we welcomed Megan into the world. She was born at 12:45am (after 27 hours of labor) and weighed 7lbs 11.5 oz and was 19.5 inches long. She had a beautiful head of brown hair that the nurse put in a mohawk. It was adorable.
I remember the first few months, just letting her lay in my lap and watch her sleep. Meg was such a GREAT baby. By the time we came home from the hospital, she was sleeping six hours a night and was on a pretty good schedule.
***so adorable***
