4

When I went into your room this morning you announced, "It's my birthday...I'm four right NOW!"  We told you that you would be four when you woke up and you took this literally!  Being four in our house is a big deal.  You get to drink some milk with a touch of coffee in it if you want, you get to go down front for the children's sermon on Sunday night, and you get to go to the gym to play on Wednesdays at church.  It was fun that your birthday fell on a Sunday.  You and Sara Beth held hands as you went down front for your first time.  They said in children's church that you acted shy.  This is hilarious, because it usually isn't your personality.  Although you are hesitant at times your normal personality is very outgoing and friendly. You are the funniest child I know.  When you were tiny I would sing "You are My Sunshine" to you.  I had no idea how true that would be.  You really are our sunshine!  I tell you regularly that our life would be boring without you.  Your big sister is your best friend.  Y'all love to play school, church, dolls, or just run around outside!  You are a great big sister too! Sam thinks you are so funny and you are so sweet to make sure he is taken care of and isn't getting hurt. You are really enjoying preschool and you are learning a lot.  You take gymnastics and seem to really enjoy it!  Daddy and I love you and are so proud of the little girl you are becoming! Happy Birthday!
