You will not be so little much longer! I am loving the bright, beautiful, helpful girl you are becoming but I will miss having a tiny princess in our family too. Luckily, you remind us often that you are indeed a princess—sometimes with your 4 dress-up changes a day and passion for all princess toys and dolls, but also with your demeanor. I keep thinking you will grow out of your bossy turning into grumpy phases but they haven't vanished yet. I love you so much my darling girl and feel like we have the sweetest, easiest time together when the big kids are at school. Somehow, when they are home and life is busy you can get overwhelmed and annoyed, and I can see how our loud, full house stresses you out. I think I felt a lot like that when I was your age too—it's hard to be the 3rd kid and have older siblings to share your mom and little world with! You are learning so much this year and getting so good at writing all your letters and practicing sounds. You are a pretty fearless adventurer and love to climb, hike, run, and especially swim with your older brother and sister—and you keep up very well. You are a detail oriented lady and always color pictures very carefully and beautifully. You sing and remember songs really well and also love to flit and float around our house like a ballerina girl! You have also been an amazing helper with our baby boy this year. You love to feed him and play with him, cheer him on for all his new milestones, and kiss and snuggle him often. You have been so kind and sweet with him and always willing to put his old diapers out in the garage for me or grab him a new onesie when I am changing him. He and I are lucky to have you around so much!
I am thrilled that you are my girlie girl who really loves to wear dresses and skirts and pretty hair bows, and play Barbies and dolls and Polly Pockets and Squinkies. I love how you look up to your big sis and think everything she says and does is very cool. She is a wonderful girl for you to be like and I am so happy you two have each other!
Happy 4th birthday cutest girl!
All my love,
Mommy

She really is the queen of fishing, I still remember 2 year old Livs fearlessly jumping into Lake Powell. SO excited to see this cute girl and celebrate her birthday
queen of fishing? ha ha I meant queen of swimming... darn pregnancy brain
Heid, this last time in SG she also swam without the water wings! Oilvia (we love how she spelled it) is a great little swimmer. She was a brave climber on the hikes, too. 4--can she really be that old?
She is too funny with her grown up attitudes. Love that she is a total smiler for the pics though!
