4. F.O.U.R
Here we go. I truly want time to s l o w down but I am slowly learning it doesn't. Piper is turning 4. It's here and it's been fast!
The sassy and sweet girl is about to exit the 3's and being a "threenager"...right? Time will tell for sure. You are strong, kind, stubborn, sassy and beautiful. You are confident and caring. You are a Daddy's girl and know it. And to be honest Mommy loves that! You have his eyes and he is pure magic to you.
As you moved into your 3's this past year, you finished 2 year old preschool and moved into starting the 3's in the fall. You know all your letters and sounds and want to learn with Tucker (who is in Kindergarten at the Elementary school now). Show and Tell is your favorite and you know exactly what you want to bring in. You also started dance this year. The focus is ballet but I see some Hip Hop in your future. You have rhythm and naturally dance to music and your own beat or songs. Aunt Lis got your a Karaoke machine and I can tell that it is going to be a big hit!
2 big things this past year-Disney and our Lake House with our boat.
In the fall and winter we went to Disney a lot. We went for your 3rd birthday, and back again at Christmas. Mommy ran the Princess 1/2 with Aunt Lis so we went in February and back again for Spring Break. We took a Spring/Summer break and went to the Lake a ton. More about that soon!
Mommy and Daddy took just you on a special Disney trip this past fall and it was pure Magic! We met every princess and did everything you wanted to do. Your love of the princesses and the way your eyes lit up when you saw them, talked with them or danced with them was priceless. 3, almost 4 is the perfect age for Disney. Let's face it our family loves Disney so any age is fantastic!
Right after you turned 3 we bought a Lake House on Lake Harwell in South Carolina! It's been a lot of fun fixing it up and having a place with our own dock for our boat. You have grown a lot in your love of boating. You started the summer by not wanting to swim on your own (with a life jacket) to a month in, swimming on your own and going with Summer and Tucker to land. You not a huge fan of tubing or water sports yet but you take the best naps on the boat.
You and I went on a trip to the Ocean City, Maryland together this past summer. It was your first flight and while Mommy may have sweated it out a little you did great. You had a great time on the beach and enjoyed your time with Aunt Janna and "hers" baby. Baby Dominic is such a cutie and Mommy was so happy to meet him. We also saw some other Maryland friends (Aunt Jessica, Aunt Erika and Aunt Colleen and their families). It was a great trip for us!
You have all your words and pick up on everything. Smart, sweet and sassy all rolled up in one. You still mix up pronouns and we love it-"thems come to my house". Hers really funny! We will hold on to these for as long as we can. You say "I-owl" for owl. You also say every night "Send Daddy In" and you and I say, "Night Night I love you" over and over, even as I close the door.
You love pockets on your dresses and clothes and are picky about what you wear. I try the 2 choices thing that worked pretty well for your sister and brother but somehow doesn't work for you.
You have renamed your Elf every year it has come-Elf, Minnie and now Belle. Belle is your favorite Princess and your had a Belle birthday party along with SNOW! Yes, we had snow in GA at the beginning of December. You didn't fully realize that Belle was supposed to come but couldn't make it because of the snow and ice. You did pick up on something and asked me what princess was coming? Mommy played it off and you had the best princess 4th birthday party with 10 sweet princess friends!
Summer, her friend Nora, and Mom-Mom helped and it was a fun dancing, playing, coloring, and nail painting time. Princess Perfect!
I am glad we had some snow as you think it should snow on Christmas. You even asked me if was Christmas because of the snow.
Babies are your favorite toy still. You sat on Santa's lap this year and talked to him!!!! It was precious. You got a little shy when talking with him and when he asked what you wanted you didn't say much. So he suggested a doll so now you are waiting on Santa to bring you a Christmas Baby doll!
We love you with all our heart, our Little. You will always be our Little! You give the best hugs-you even give big hugs and little hugs. You cuddle as well!
Time to finish up the Birthday prep! Gifts to put out and streamers on your bedroom door! Here comes some pictures and her 20 questions......
