Happy birthday to my kind-hearted, smart and funny little girl. Today she turns five years old! The last five years have passed in the blink of an eye! Everyone says that the days are long, and yet the years are short, and it’s so, so true.
Connor Claire enjoys coloring, counting numbers (the bigger the better!), and she especially enjoys reading. Her favorite books are the Disney 5-minute storybooks. Give her a story about Elsa and Anna from Frozen, and she’s one happy girl!
She’ll happily cook you a five-course meal (including dessert) in her play kitchen, or race you outside on her Pegasus, who lives in the imaginary stables right outside our house, along with all her other horses.
Currently, animals are a minor (actually major) obsession. She loves unicorns, horses and *all* the animals at the zoo. The other day she told me she wants to be a zookeeper when she grows up, but last week she wanted to be a marine biologist, and the week before that a veterinarian…
She likes to pass the time by building with her blocks or singing songs. She’s got a musical ear and knows how to stay on key, and she knows all the words to any and all the Disney princess songs with a big, belting chorus.
Dance is a big part of her life! She takes ballet classes and just started tap dancing class.
Pretty soon we’ll officially have a kindergartner on our hands, my friend, and I can’t wait to see how much she grows this year!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

March 2nd, 2021 at 3:15 pmWow. I know everyone will say this, but I can’t believe it has been five years. Seems like just a year or so ago that you shared your pregnancy news and then had the guest bloggers after Connor Claire was born. Thank you for sharing her with us.

March 3rd, 2021 at 11:10 amHappy 5th Birthday, Connor Claire! It is amazing how we have all watched her grow up on your blog, and it is so hard to believe it has been 5 years. I remember when you told us all that you were expecting, and I wondered if you would even have time to keep up your blog. You have done so great, and I admire you being able to be a great mom and keep up such a great blog that we all love. Many Happy Returns!

March 3rd, 2021 at 8:32 pmShe was so TINY. Happy belated birthday, Connor Claire. I love all her career aspirations, her love for animals, and her hobbies. I would totally come play blocks and color.

March 3rd, 2021 at 9:06 pmHappy Happy Birthday to Connor Claire!! It’s hard to believe she’s already five. Time surely does fly when you’re having fun!! I love the all the pictures of her at 5 years, 5 months, and 5 days. So cute!! Just a reminder to myself, that my sweet daughter Elizabeth will be 28 in June. It scares me sometimes how the years go by so quickly. Hope Connor Claire had a wonderful birthday!!
