Ever turns 4

How can this be?
I say it every year, but this time it is different
I didn't want to believe it was coming
I still don't want to say she is 4.
She may as well be 18 and moving out of the house
that's kinda how it feels
dramatic?

anyway
I sure love this little thing
Isn't she pretty, I love her real smile, when she is truly doing something she loves
Her laugh is so cute and contagious
Every thing she does amazes me
she is so special and such a blessing in our lives
there are some things I definitely want to remember at this age for sure

When she gets excited lately she has told me that her belly feels jumpy
She is so stinking smart!
I hope learning always comes easy to her
She is spelling out words, sounding them out and arguing with me on the ones that dont sound like they are
She is ticked that giraffe starts with a g not a j.
She nows pronounces it with the g sound not a j sound
Tara has a dog named Oakley.
She found the work ocly, spelled just like that on the back porch in chalk
she is getting really good at it!
She remembers things so well
She had to read a scripture for sharing time a few sundays ago.
We read it two times the night before
I was telling her it in her ear in sharing time and she just finished it out.
She hardly needed me
She learned to play on the computer and use the mouse, and loves it

She starts soccer this saturday
She is pretty athletic
She definitely doesnt get that form me
the way she hit her pinata at her birthday made me think that she may need to play softball
hilarious
she is kinda competitive, that is probably from me unfortunately

Probably the most exciting thing this month was her learning to ride her bike with mo training wheels
I can't believe how fast she caught on
the bike is a little big for her so she falls everytime she stops
and never cries
tough chicken

she is quite the artist
she draws so well
and loves to do crafts

She is such a great big sister
and a great friend
She is very creative and plays so well

After her birthday she asked me if I thought everyone had a good time at her party
She said "I tried to talk to everyone so that no one felt left out."
I am so proud of her
She is a sweetheart

She has a great heart and loves everyone!
We love her so much and can't wait to see what the next year brings
I am not puting her in preschool.
I cant even stand that she will be in kindergarten next year!
Call me crazy but she is going to be in school for the next 12 years at least
I want her home with me and want her to be little for as long as I can
I love having her around, she is my little buddy and such a good helper!
I love teaching her and watching her learn and get smarter!
