Big Sister celebrated her 4th birthday last week. It's so hard to believe it's been 4 whole YEARS since I was first able to kiss her sweet little baby face. And, for some reason, 4 sounds so much older than 3! She has grown and changed so much in the past year; she's lost her little baby face, and has turned into a little lady. She's friendly, fun and very helpful. She loves to socialize; the highlights of her week are story time, playgroup and music class (she tends to get a bit grumpy if we hang around the house too many days in a row). She is the BEST big sister in the world (Little Bud even got her a shirt that proudly proclaims that statement for her birthday); she loves to take care of Little Bud (she can be a little overzealous at times, but her heart is usually in the right place). Reading books is one of her favorite activities; she wants us to read them to her by the dozen! A few months ago, she stopped napping in the afternoon, so instead she has "rest time" now, where she spends an hour or so in her bed, looking at books with her book light. The park is one of her favorite places to visit; we've even started visiting random parks when we're out and about running errands, since she's always up for discovering new, fun places to play!
We love you so much sweet girl! You are the most wonderful girl in the world!! It brings unspeakable joy to our hearts to watch you grown and learn (although it would be nice if time would pass by a bit more slowly!). Happy 4th Birthday!

We were so excited to give Big Sister her birthday
