To our darling daughter, miss Zoebelle on your 6th birthday,
This past year has simply been our favourite to date with you. You have grown up into such a sassy, independent, strong willed and curious little girl. You love everything from mascara to mud cakes and we love how you don’t fit within a box, that you’ve made your own rules for who you want to be. You dance to the beat of your own drum, and this year despite loving to dance you very directly told me you didn’t want to go to dance school anymore because you can choreograph your own routines to dance to. You are Princess Tomboy and why the hell shouldn’t you be! Who says you have to choose. Everything is still very dramatic when it comes to you, your screams, giggles and crying would rival that of an Oscar winner. This year as for the past 2 years nothing we say can keep you away from the twins, we can tell you till we’re blue in the face to stop cuddling, picking them up, interfering with their independent play time but you just can’t help yourself. You love those boys sooo much and boy do they know who to turn to when mum has roused on them!
You are going from strength to strength at school and if it wasn’t for your endless love of drawing, colouring and crafting I would bet you’d do even better with your reading! School for you is much more about being with your friends and playing than it is excelling at spelling or maths. Never the less you are always praised for your leadership and outstanding efforts in class – and for us that’s’ all we can ask for. You are social and funny and super confident about your place in the world and that’s why we love you.
Over this past 12 months you started playing netball, spoken at school assembly, been to Australia Zoo, Wet and Wild, Movie World, Byron bay and Coffs Harbour. We’ve done beach trips, WNBL basketball grand finals, baseball games, raiders matches and bush walks – but top of your must do list is always have a slumber party with friends. Well baby girl this year, for your 6th birthday that’s exactly what you got! The giggles, karaoke, whispers and laughter that filled our home filled us all with joy. While there wasn’t much sleep had nothing beats seeing your smile the next morning.
Now let’s talk about that smile. That smile gets you anything from your poppys and most of the time it gets you anything from your dad too. That smile could light up the world and when you smile everyone around you smiles. You are truly the most beautiful girl, your beautiful porcelain skin touched by tiny freckles across your nose, those piercing blue eyes with the longest dark lashes, perfectly pouted pink lips and hair that shines in the sun all make me wonder how I could create something so flawless in every way.
You Love: lip gloss, your twin brothers, make up, wrestling dad, spending time on the farm, rock exploring at the beach, dancing, dressing up, CRAFT… all the craft all the time.
Your Best friends are: Ruby, Rosie, Emmy, Elsie and Sophia
You play: netball – and as I write this I’m looking into rock climbing as a sport for you as nothing else we’ve offered really sticks with you.
Your Favourite food is: sushi…. Seriously – when given the option you’ll always pick sushi!, but you also love mums berry crumble, pepper steak pie and the ever popular Rushby tasting plates.
You hate: having to follow anyone else’s rules, bad smells, anytime there’s blood, vomit or poop around, going to bed before cooper (in fact anything that cooper gets to do and you don’t you hate)
You have all your baby teeth – not a single wobbly one yet
The most memorable milestones this year: going to movie world, seeing skyfire fireworks, breaking your arm on holidays and having your very first slumber party.
You are 115cm tall
You weigh 20kg
Happy birthday miss Z, we love you, you’ve made our world a much brighter place and without you I wouldn’t be complete.
