Here you are on your 4th birthday. You are growing up so fast. I don't think as a parent you can say that enough. The days seem so long, yet the years go by so fast.
Your first day of pre-school. It took you a while to get used to going, but once you got comfortable there, you were so excited to go!
Here you are with Mommy and Daddy just a few days before your 5th birthday. We are so lucky to have you!
This is what I know about you:
- You are hilarious. You say so many funny things and you don't even know it. I really can't even think of anything off the top of my head, but I think its more than what you say. It's how you say things. You get sarcasm and one day, you might be as good at it as your mom.
- When you are in a silly mood, you say "Mom, I love you, and a pig fell in the mud and you fell in the mud." A while ago Daddy kept telling you and Natalie a "dirty joke." Then he would say, "A pig fell in the mud!" Well, somehow it got attached onto saying that you love us. You are so weird sometimes.
- You love being a sister. Still. I love this about you. You watch out for not only your little AND big sister, you also care for all the little ones at daycare. It is one of your greatest qualities. Your big heart shows right through.
- You love to learn and it seems to come natural to you. You ask Natalie to teach you letters and how to spell names. Now you are picking out letters all over the place. You can spell your name, mom, dad and Evie. When you ask how to spell things now, it is rare that I have to tell you how to make the letters.
- You are a tall and skinny little girl. I say this all the time, but leggings have a tough time staying up on that waist.
Macie, you are our second little miracle. You have been amazing since the day you were born. You still make people earn your hugs and smiles, but it is one of my favorite things about you. If someone is going to get to know you, they have to work at it. I see so much of myself in you, but there are glimmers of Daddy too. You are going to do great things for this world little girl. I love you so much!
Mommy.
