On her birthday, I put her to bed and whispered, "By the way .... ""What?" she whispered back, eager to be in on the conspiracy.
"Happy birthday, one more time," I whispered.
She smiled and kissed me -- a big, smacky kiss on the cheek -- and said, "And, to seal it? A hug!" She threw her arms around me and we laughed, and she settled back in to her bed.
Looking up at me, she said, "Mommy, you're lucky to have such a daughter."
I roared.
I'll teach her humility when she's older.
For now? All I can say is "Yes, Ramona, you are so right. I am lucky to have such a daughter."

Happy Birthday to Ramona! We're very fond of 5 year old girls around here too. :)
My how the years have flown. It seems just yesterday I was looking at her baby picture online. Happy Birthday, Ramona, and may this year be filled with all sorts of wonderful adventures.

Happy Birthday, Ramona!
My Third Son just turned 5 on the 20th. He comes up with some great conversations, too. I wish I was as good at remembering them as you are, Karen.
He told me the other day he is having a "growth sprout".
Awwww ... little ones are the best!
Happy 5th Birthday to your "baby"! As a Mommy of all girls (too), I would agree "you're lucky to have such a daughter".
Happy Birthday Ramona - hope you had a wonderful day!
True humility means being able to admit when you're important as well as when you are not-quite-that-important. I'd say Ramona has it down pat. ;) Happy birthday to her!
Happy birthday, you cheeky little gal! You are every bit as much a honey as your namesake...and every bit as much a character. ;)
Birthday blessings & prayers for you today & always.
PS. My 6-year-old daughter assures me that you will love being 5!
Happy birthday Ramona. I can't believe you are five already :)

Kisses to Ramona!
