Makayla: 4 Years Old!

Dear Makayla,

You're four years old today!!

You are the most beautiful four year old I know. I am so proud to be your mommy.

You make me laugh every single day with your super cute phrases and the awesome things you say. Like curgly (curly) and ridiclious (ridiculous) and lompster (lobster) and ca-remote (remote) and perftec (perfect) and pie-ano (piano).

You are VERY stubborn, but you come by it naturally.

You don't like it when you get hurt...you always throw your hand up and say no, no, no at us. We just want to console you, baby girl.

You are so kind and compassionate towards other people. You love (most of the time) giving to others.

You always hold your sister's hand in the car and you both love it. It's pretty precious.

I'm amazed at how much you are learning and growing and changing. You are becoming a gorgeous little girl and when I look at baby pictures of you, I can't believe how far we've come.

You still get up at an ungodly hour, but we're working on it. :) Mama just can't get up that early, love bug!

You had a blast at Christmas this year...tearing your gifts open and getting excited over every little thing...even socks! ;)

You are very shy in school and you don't say a word to anybody...but then you come home and don't stop talking for the rest of the day.

You don't nap anymore, but we still put you down for a nap because it gives me some quiet time and that's always a good thing.

You got a big girl bed today!! It's my old twin bed with a new mattress just for you! You were totally excited!!

You are one amazing little girl and I am so excited to see what the next year holds for us. I love with everything I have.

Love,
Mommy
