4 years ago you came bouncing in our lives and made us happier then we knew we could be. We didn't know love that like but found it the second we held you. It has been a whirlwind of 4 years. We have never laughed as much as we laugh when you are around. I think about all the fun we've had since you arrived and all the things we've tried or did and I can't help but thank God that you made it. :) We had NO idea what to do with a child but somehow we managed.
Your first year was a load of firsts, lots of new experiences, you walked--never really crawled, you ate new foods, you slept like a champ, you laughed, we laughed, you smiled, we smiled. It is amazing how much joy you brought to us.
Your second year was even better. The terrible two's were not present at our house. You were a very happy toddler, learning lots of new things and loving to climb, play, and give kisses. We loved every moment of two's.
Your third year, I'll admit it was a bit trying at times. However, I think you were learning to become to your own person and your own independent self and that's hard for mom and dad to understand. But, we still have great times to remember...well one is that you became a big sister this year and I must say you are AWESOME at that! Even though you didn't get a sister like you asked for, you love your brother SO much. I love to see the nurturing side of you and the rough side that comes too :) We went on your first flight this year, you started school, you love to paint, and play dress-up. Another blessed year.
And now you are 4! Everyone says the time passes so quickly and their right, it does. But I think back to all the moments we've had and all the things we've done and I can't help but feel overblessed thinking of all the FUN we've had together. You light up our world and we are so lucky to have an independent, loving, caring, and fun little lady. I can't wait to see what this year brings...Bring it on sister, bring it!
Love,
Mom
