Sybbie was to first to awake in the nursery. She climbed out of her bed and tip toed over to the nanny's door. She pressed her ear up to it and heard soft breathing.
She looked over at both of her cousins, who were both curled up, sleeping peacefully under their thick quilts. Marigold had her thumb in her mouth, even though she was nearly 5 years old.
With that, she quietly moved over to her drawers. She pulled out a beautiful lilac dress with matching shoes, and slipped them on. She attempted to brush out her hair, and flattened out her bangs with her hands. She grabbed her floppy bear and sat on her bed.
The nanny walked out of the door, and looked surprised to see her.
"Miss Sybbie! Why are you up so early?" She asked.
"It's my birthday!" She whispered, "And this happened!"
She held out her hand, and revealed two teeth. She smiled, showing a gap right where her two front teeth were.
"My,my, you look different!" The nanny smiled.
"I'm a big girl now!"
