Four Score and (well just four years ago)

Lillybug, you turned four today.  Is seems like you have been talking about how when you get bigger you are going to ____________.  And today you turned "bigger" as you like to say.

I broke down and bought you light up shoes.  I loathe them. The only reason that I bought them, other than the fact that you wanted them soo bad, is that they do not have a cartoon character on them.  Mark my words girlfriend, you will never wear those hideous dora shoes.  Tonight in the car ride home it was getting dark outside and you kept making them flash.  Your dad and I kept thinking we were getting pulled over!

You also scored a glove, ball and bat.  We are determined to get you to college playing some sort of sport so next up is teeball.  Yes, I know they do not have teeball in college!

We took you to chuck-e-cheese tonight where you earned 438 tickets.  You scored the 38 and your dad and I scored the remaining 400 playing friendly wagers in skeeball.

I also have been telling you that four year olds do not suck their thumbs at night.  You have been completely on board with this until bedtime when you promptly told me that you did not want to be four years old anymore.  I finally had to tell you that I had no idea what you do when I turn the lights out to get you to go to sleep.

Little girl, you are more than we could ever ask for.  You tell us you love us without being prompted, you make us laugh with your silly jokes and witty mouth and you are the most outgoing, social little person always making others feel included.  We love you so much and can't wait to see what this year brings us with you!
