Without knowing it, we passed over a milestone last year. You see, last year, was the last time that you really had no clue about when your birthday was and what to expect on it. This year, you know that your birthday is June 24th. You did not hesitate to tell anybody and everybody that fact and that you will be 4 months (lol!) old. You also informed Auntie Linda that you will be having balloons and chocolate cake for your birthday. I'm thankful Auntie Linda also informed me of these expectations!
So, Sister, what's new?
You are about to begin reading. You have been showing signs of readiness for some time now, and we are going to start schooling in the fall. One of your favorite things to do is to read things for me. You love to read the box of goldfish, the store signs around town, the stop sign, and your favorite board books.
You love physical activity. You are learning a lot of new things in gymnastics. And, now that you are in the next level, you seem to be learning at a more rapid pace. I guess it's a bit easier to concentrate without mama and bebecita on the floor distracting you. You also love to run. You're more of a long distance runner than a sprinter. And, you can definitely run for quite some time.
This past year, you've gotten in touch with the princess within. You love princess stories and movies. You have your own collection of princess dolls that you like to play with. Often, you will dress up in your crowns and princess dresses to play. Not to worry, though, this princess side is just one more facet of your personality. You still adore dinosaurs. The other day as you played in your room, you informed me, "This is my best dilophosaurus." Mmmmkay!
Girlfriend, you love to sing! I'm excited that you are now old enough to join the children's choir at church. Starting this fall, you and daddy both will get to go to choir on Wednesday nights. Your VBS teachers commented to me repeatedly about how much you loved singing and dancing to the music at the worship rally. I can't wait to see you performing!
You love to talk on the phone. It doesn't matter who I'm talking to; you always want to get a few words in - even if you don't know the person. It's funny though because you have come up with your own 'out' on the phone. You will suddenly say "Gung gong gung gong! That sounds like the clock. It's getting close to 4. I gotta go!" Crazy girl! I wonder how this skill will translate if you are ever on a bad date!
You crack me up with the way your mind works sometimes. You are very much a black and white kind of girl. If I mess up and tell you we are going in Daddy's car, you will insist, "No, it's Daddy's truck!" You also very much see things in your own special way. You have many (MANY) toys, but often I will find you playing with a strip of paper or one of your lacing strings. You will tell me "This is Aladdin and Abu!" I love your fantastic imagination!
Like Sissy, you're a bit of a petite thing. You are SKINNY minnie. I am wondering where your got this metabolism because you can eat 5 donuts in one sitting and still maintain your girlish figure. We'll find out your exact stats at your well check coming soon, but you are around 30 pounds and around 40 inches. You are still wearing all of your 3T clothes though the long pants are almost too short.
We are so thankful that God gave us you! We love you so very much!
