4 years old

Kay,

This post is going to start like every other one of your birthday posts. I can't believe you are 4. To me a 3 year old is still a baby but 4... that is a real life kid. I can't even tell you how much you have changed this past year. You are talking so much and I'm amazed at your understanding of the world.

You are my constant back seat driver. I have no use for a Tom Tom because you love telling me which direction I need to be going depending on our task. 'No mama, school is over there, not over there.' 'Go this way Mama to dance, we are going to dance, it is over there.' There is no fooling you.

One of your favorite places - the Doctor. I don't know why you love it so much but man oh man - you want to go there ALL the time. Walk into a door - Time to go to the Doctor. Scrape your knee - time to go to the doctor. Hang nail - Time to go to the Doctor. That guy can fix anything.

Your Best friend. Brooklynn is your best friend. Sometimes that is the only way I can get you to do things. I'll say 'If you do that, you can show Brooklynn.' Everything you do, you can't wait to tell her. You guys are always together when I pick you up from daycare. They are moving you up to a new class and I had to make sure Brooklynn was coming to because I wasn't sure how you would cope. It is going to be hard when you start Pre-K in the fall.

Your sister. I still think you don't like her much. You want to know where she is all the time but I'm not sure if that is because you want her around or if it is just because you want to make sure she isn't in your stuff.

Some of your other favorites right now are Toy Story, Dinosaurs, Superheros, Mickey Mouse, Squeese Cheese, and French Fries. You are also all wrapped up in your Daddy. Man that is a tight bond. You guys have so much fun together. You just went fishing for the first time and caught 3 fish. One was about a 2lb bass and you caught it with corn and your princess fishing pole.

Little girl... I can't even put into words how much I love you. Thank you for blessing my life every day.
