you're 4 now, i can't believe it!!!

some of your favorite sayings, or maybe they're my favorite sayings:

"I'm out" right before you leave the room

"Let me tell you something" which leads right in to....."actually....."

"I'm interested in _______can you tell me something about that"


you are interested in everything, you definitely have a mind of your own, you want what you want and have no trouble making a decision.

you are very sweet and worried about other people if they are hurt or sick.

still haven't had to actually use a time out, a threat seems to work just fine. Also recently started counting to three if i want you to do something and you didn't listen, i have not gotten to three yet and neither one of us have any idea of what would happen if i did get to three.
you are very interested in how to spell everything, know all your letters and the sounds they make and can pick out some words. you can say what letter any word starts with. one of your sight words right now is cortland, when we went to vote the other night there was a boy there with sweat pants that said cortland and you saw them and said "look, it says cortland on his pants"

Your artwork is becoming much more elaborate, you can draw hearts, stars, dragons, people with bodies and faces and 5 fingers on each hand.

it is a pain to try to take a picture of you, you look everywhere but at the camera and you don't stand still, modeling is NOT in your future!!

you are extremely picky now and will barely eat anything. You just had your 4 year check up, which, by the way, you cried all the way to and most of the time you were there. anyway you weighed 31.4 and were 39 inches tall!! you gained three inches and three pounds since last year's check up.

I love you more everyday and still can't believe how lucky I am, as bubby would say "pu pu"!! have no idea how to spell that but basically is translates in to don't put any curses on anything by saying good things..........superstitions that date back to her grandmother probably!!!

Love Love Love you, so stinkin much!
