YOU ARE SMART...I mean SMART. You can count up to the high twentys, and can recognize up to about 15. You know your alphabet, and can LITERALLY write all of the letters, and quite well. You can write your name, and are working on your last name. You constantly ask me how to spell things, and can write out what I say. You draw and color like a kindergartener, and you still have a year and a half to go until you enter school. It is amazing!
Your laugh is infectious.
You are still VERY shy and aren't easy to warm to people.
You LOVE Tyler's Kindergarten teacher from last year, Mrs. Anthony.
You have beautiful hair, with gorgeous highlights and lashes that are UNBELIEVABLY long.
You flutter around the house in a dance motion most every step you take.
Ty is your very best friend.
You want me to have a baby.
You tell us that when you grow up you want to be a Red Robin worker a dancer, a firegirl, and a mommy.
Your favorite pair of jammies, and that I literally have to tear you out of, is a turquoise night gown with a ballet bear on the front. You would wear them day and night every single day, if you could.
You still use a binky at night.
You have grown quite a bit this year, but you are still little, one of the smallest in your class.
You have never watched a whole movie, because there is always something that scares you, and then you won't go back to watch more.
You are in speech therapy, and have made big improvements. You are still working on some letter combinations. You talk, overall, so much more, and better then you did just a few months ago.
You say things like:
Bananaise sauce (mayonaise)
You my best mommy
Piece-a-herapy (speech therapy)
"Mommy, wanna shop with me to Target"
"I need to rub my baby" (she has several diaper clothes from infancy, that are her little loveys...she puts them between her fingers and rubs them around to go to sleep and whenever she is sad or hurt.)
Your favorite book of all time, and has been for sometime, is Pinkalicious...(its mommy's favorite too)You can recite it to us fully!
Your favorite dinner is homemade, oven baked, chicken nuggets, and strawberry milk.
Your favorite color is PINK....pink and more pink...
Your favorite doll is named Chico.
Your favorite thing to play (as the girly girl that you are) is cars with Tyler!
You are a total girly girl...dance class, pink dresses, tutus, dress up shoes...but you want to play every single sport that Tyler plays...and can totally hold your own too!
*********************************************************
Every single day we are more tangled in you...we are more in love with you.
Little girl...
Please understand how much we love you. I am trying hard to breathe in every single minute of you! I want to remember it all, every dance step, every song you sing, every kiss and hug, because time goes so fast.
I am literally breathless in the thought that you are 4 today. 4 years ago, you were but 7 pounds of pure, moldable, innocence. A little tiny ball of wrinkly skin with a full head of dark hair, that turned two grown-ups into complete mush. Daddy and I were completely sleep deprived because of your early arrival, and yet 100% unable to take our eyes off of you.
Seriously, could you be more amazing?
No one will ever, ever know you like we do. You keep our hearts beating extra beats every minute. You keep us coming back for more with the magic that is...simply...YOU! There will never another soul who I feel this exact same way about.
Happy, Happy Birthday little ladybug!
