my sweet 4 year old


It's so hard to me to wrap my head around the idea that my baby is four.
She is just growing up way too fast.
She has the sweetest little personality.
She loves to talk and ask lots of questions.
She loves staying busy and thinks working out in the yard is just the best thing ever.


She was so excited about turning 4 and talked about it a lot. She is still getting use to the idea of holding up 4 fingers instead of 3.
We went to the dr last week for her 4 year old check up.
She weighed 40 lbs and 40.5 inches tall.
She got her finger stuck and two shots and she didn't shed a tear. She is so brave!
She did want to spend the afternoon talking about how much Annie would have cried if she had to get  shots :)



Here are some things we want to remember about you at 4 years old.
- how you love you baby sister. You can be such a great big sister :) it melts my heart when I turn around and see you two holding hands in the car. You are enjoying playing with your little sister. Ore and more and y'all have started going in your room and closing the door and playing with your toys
- how you love playing outside. You will say " I want to go play in the deep woods " you love climbing trees and you are really good at it. You also love playing in the water and playing in the mud. You love to make some mud pies :) and mommy just loves cleaning that up.. You love picking flowers and weeds. There are all beautiful to you. The way you see things just reminds me how Jesus calls us to be more like children. 
- your beautiful blond hair. It is so soft and pretty. You love getting your hair cut but you always talk about wanting to grow it out long like tangled.
- how you love to play with your princesses. You will go in your room, close the door and make a little village with you castles and houses. You will talk and play for a long time. I love listening to you in there. It makes me so happy.
- how you have your own sense of style. You know what you like to wear and you want to wear what you want to all the time. You also love changing clothes. Some days you will go through 8 outfit changes. Luckily your clothes are small and easy to wash. You also love doing your own hair. You like to put pots and lots of clips in there with head bands. It makes her laugh.
- how you love to ask questions and talk.  You love to talk about what we are going to do during the 
day. Every morning when you wake up you say " what are we doing today ?!" You also like to talk 
about the flowers, princesses, what fun things we are going to do and your sister :)

 My sweet little girl...you have already taught me so much. You make my life happier. I love watching you grow and learn. You are my sunshine... Sweet Ellie.
