5 Year old Handprint

I have been waiting more than 5 years for the moment we had on Wednesday.  I remember the first time I walked into our pediatrian's office when Nicole was a newborn and I was surrounded on every possible wall with handprints.  When a child turns 5, they are allowed to place their handprint on the wall of the office.  I remember thinking..."5?  5 years old...that is SO far away!"  And, now....we are here.  We have a 5 year old who finally got to put her handprint on the wall.

To be honest, I was way more excited than she was.  I literally had nightmares about two things happening - 1. That they would run out of room and my kids wouldn't get to print
2. That one day, I would walk in and the painted the walls white and erased over 15 years of memories. 

But...neither one happened:)

So, without further ado....Photos of Nicole's special moment.

This is the picture herself that Nicole chose.

Dr. Brown let Nicole have a purplish color...custom made (but it's a secret!)

Hannah was sad she couldn't put her hand on the wall:(  Two more years sweet girl.
