Happy Birthday, Sweetpea!

Today is my firstborn's sixth birthday and, to celebrate, here's one of my all-time favorite pictures of her.


For fun, I'd like you guys to provide its caption. As of Sunday evening, I'll pick my favorite (with misterwrites's input), to be announced in Monday's post. The winner will "win" a limerick or ode written (by me, not misterwrites, unless of course you'd like the inclusion of sharks with lasers) in their honor. Let the captioning begin!
PS. "Sweetpea" is not her given name.

    I can't think of a good caption - am horrible at those kinds of things. ;-)

  11. Your daughter's an angel, but she looks as though she's watching something come closer. A spider maybe?

    "Itsy-bitsy spider, crawling ever near,
    Trying to crawl up my face and sleep inside my ear."

  18. You guys are great! Thanks for the birthday wishes; we had a great day. It was everything a 6-year-old could ask for and then some. (Including Chuck E. Cheese...)

    You've given fantastic captions!

  24. Drat! I'm too late for the captioning, but I must say that is a very cute pic!

    In case this thing signs me anonymous again, I'll just sign my name.

    Kathy - Thanks! The subject is pretty darn cute herself. :)
