Ollie and Zoe turned five last week. It capped of a month of parties, cakes and gifts. On their birthday, we took them out for their favorite meal, Beijing Duck.
We gave the girls pink Razor scooters and they can't ride them enough. The day after her birthday Ollie faked a tummy ache so she could ride her scooter before breakfast.
Zoe was pleased to receive princess clothing to add to her growing collection. For Zoe this is great because she is a princess, and has decided she will be one when she grows up. I have no doubt she will be.
They enjoy dancing and singing, in Chinese or English depending who is in their audience. Anne and I play supporting roles in many of their performances. The Sound of Music's "So Long, Farewell" is a favorite.
The big difference I notice at five is their new scooters enable them to ride away from us. For three years, they've been right beside us. Its fascinating to watch them grow. And, now we reach for six.

I just have one daughter, but she turned five years old in February and I'm definitely feeling the same way as you describe here ... somewhat amazed as she blossoms into what she was meant to be, and the part I get to play in enabling that to happen.
