On a Thursday at 12:58pm, you turned four, FOUR.
Oh my goodness how quickly four years have flown by - but they have been the sweetest most joyful four years Daddy and I could ever have imagined.
You are the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and caring little girl.
You are very compassionate of others and care so much about everyone. You are starting to reign in the tears a bit when others are hurt or scared or in trouble, but it still very much bothers you.
You usually are more worried about them and sad for them then they are for themselves.
A new little boy started in your class last week, Miss Julie said she could tell you were more nervous for him that day then he was and that you looked out for him. :)
We can definitely see you growing up to be someone who cares for others in your profession.
You go to preschool on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. You love it and it is just the perfect amount of school (and being away from me). I am already going a little crazy thinking about Kindergarten in 1 1/2 years, really - I can't even think about you being gone all day. I am your mama, and I like you with me - it's as simple as that. :)
Quinn, you are absolutely beautiful inside and out. You have a beautiful heart and it shows every single day. Your smile brightens our lives each and everyday. And your giggle, oh how you giggle and joke and laugh - it makes us laugh so hard. You love a good joke these days.
You love to dance. You have been taking dance classes now for over a year. You will be coming up on your third recital and you are pretty excited. This leads in well to the fact that you love to dress up! Twirly skirts, sparkly shoes, fancy dresses - all your favorites. You dance and sing throughout the entire day.
You are our very sensitive girl. You are in tune with everything, nothing misses you. You also have an incredible memory.
You love to be outside playing or dancing and singing anywhere. When a special song comes on we can not get out of the car until it is done, according to you. It's pretty common for us to have random dance moments in a parking lot.
Naps are not so common anymore, from our girl who was always our big sleeper. You probably nap about once every week or so, but you usually take a little quiet time most afternoons.
You are trying more new foods.
Favorites: Shells & cheese, strawberry kiwi yogurt and colby jack cheese
Dislikes: strawberries, carrots, jelly
Favorite movie currently: Ratatouille (you love everything Frozen, but don't care for the part when Elsa shoots ice towards her sister so you usually don't like to watch the movie)
Favorite TV show: Wallykazam, but you are pretty content to watch most Disney Jr. or Nick Jr. shows
Favorite book: Pinkalicious
Favorite Princess: Sleeping Beauty
Most asked for play activity: to play Market or restaurant
It's hard to believe that last year on your birthday you found out that you would be having a sister (baby girl reveal) and this year on your birthday your little sister Andie is 8 months old! You love your baby sister so much and you are so sweet to her. You are gentle and don't need too many reminders. :) Although as she gets bigger you tend to think she can handle more. Your absolute favorite thing is to make Andie smile.
This year for your birthday we kept things pretty simple - per your request. We had plans for a big party but Daddy and I kept hearing you say you just wanted to play with Brynnie (your cousin) and have a My Little Pony cake. So we did just that, (but you also added two little girlfriends to join as well).
On Saturday, you had Brynnie, Gigi and Natalie over for just a little girl my little pony play party. You girls had so much fun!
In the evening we had a little family party. Grandma and Grandpa D., Grandpa W., Auntie Amy, Uncle Michael, Aidan, Liam and Brynnie, Mommy, Daddy and Andie, and Bob and Diana V. were all there. We had pizza, breadsticks and delicious cake!
The pony cake of course! You were in love with it.
You are surrounded by so much love.
And you are spoiled by so many presents!
My Little Pony items were a big hit of course among many other things like Disney Princess, Paw Patrol items and a trendy swimsuit you put on and wore for half the day. :)
This year from Daddy, Mommy and Andie you got a Spiderman Motorcycle toy - you had been talking about this for weeks after playing with it at Heather's house and you freaked out when you opened it! We also gave you a balance beam that daddy made for you.
Quinn, we love more than a billion pony cakes. XOXO
Happy 4th birthday beautiful girl.
