She's Four!!!!

Our sweet, and sometimes sassy, little girl turned 4 on Wednesday. It was a quiet celebration with just the four of us. She asked for a giant cupcake instead of having a standard cake and was really excited that we were able to meet all of her requests: colorful cake, pink frosting, and the number 4 on it. 


She opened her gifts: a ball, hula-hoop, and a 'shelf zebra' from Xander; Some movies, a dress, 4 dollar store fairies, and a dress made by mom from Jeff and I. She seemed very happy with them and most attached to the fairy dolls.


It was kind of a backwards night because we did those things first. Then we had dinner: Mac and Cheese while watching Tinkerbell (one of the movies we bought.)


Overall, she seemed very happy!

Today, she had her 4 year old check-up. Her doctor's comments were: "She's very cerebral and not so athletic." and "She is a very funny little girl! Very entertaining and cute!" That's our girl! She is advanced in cognition, a comedian, and still delayed in gross motor skills, but not as much as Jeff and I had thought. Go figure! The doctor asks her to jump with two feet and she does it 3 times in a row. Yeah! But why couldn't she do that for us?


We are also back tracking very quickly on bowel movements. We are suppose to go back to what we were doing before so it looks like we will be adding Ex-Lax back in.... and 2 new packs of underwear since we can't seem to make it more than 2-3 days before we are out again. That's the relatively easy part. It's pretending it doesn't bother us that is the really difficult part. We will be taking a lot of deep breaths.


Happy Fourth Year! Don't forget your pinky swear to learn to peddle your bike this year!
