How is this possible?

Lauren

Yes, I am indeed a month late with your birthday blog post but in my defense you think everyday is your birthday so in some ways I'm not behind at all.

You. Are. Four.

How did that happen?

You started school 2 months ago and most days it is wonderful. You LOVE school. You love your 'teachers' Mrs Mayer, Carleigh and Charlene. You love your friends and you love being a big girl and going to big girl school. What you are not so great at is sitting down for circle time although you often instruct Brier to sit "Criss Cross Applesauce, hands in your lap, eyes froward and listening ears on" so I know you know the expectation. You're not fooling anyone.

You will suddenly break in to songs like the Frozen soundtrack, a song about five little pumpkins complete with hand actions or Down By The Bay and when it's time for the rhyme you yell "Mommy... TALK!". You use the words 'actually' and 'remember' in ways that make your parents feel like you're mocking us. You like to torment Brier, but also can be very affectionate toward her which will likely continue for the rest of your lives of you are anything like my sister and I.

Your favorite people are your grandma(s) and grandpa(s) and you want to see them as much as possible.

You are always hungry. Except at dinner time. This particularly drives your father insane.

You tell people that you take Karate. In fact you will bow with your hands together and high-kick in a way that makes them think that you actually do take Karate. You do not take Karate.

You are perfect and perfectly imperfect at the same time.

You. Are. Four.
