Calista Birthday Photography

Calista turned five in April and so we went out to our driveway and took some photos to document how she looked at this age.

Calista is a ball of energy and I really think this past year she turned a corner.  Around the age of 4 1/2 she started getting much easier to take care of.  She stopped getting bins of sugar, then taking them somewhere (usually outside) to hide and eat them.  She stopped sneaking out onto the balcony or into the busy road.  It has even been a few months since she colored on the walls or cut her hair.  The great thing is that Beatrix stopped doing these things as well. Proving I was right that Calista was the instigator and Beatrix just followed along. 

She likes Frozen, My Little Pony, and Micky Mouse Clubhouse.  She also likes to change her clothes all the time and look through books.  She really wants to know how to read but she really only knows a couple letters.  She likes to play pretend and be in charge of Beatrix and everyone else.  She still loves sweets and barely eats anything else.  Even her preschool teacher wrote me a note saying she won't eat the Japanese lunches they provide, meaning she doesn't get lunch.

After she did my poses she wanted to do her own.  Below are just a few of her picture ideas.
