My Four Year Old

My Lilly is one of my greatest joys in life. In honor of her turning FOUR, this post is all about her. She is the most observant little girl I know and you can't get much past her. You can't trick her because she can figure you out. Her memory is so amazing, it shocks me the things she can remember. She was only taught one time her Left and Right sides. Days later, out of nowhere, she showed me which was which. We ask her periodically and she always gets it right. Plus, she can remember things from a year or more ago. She is so sweet and loving to her brother and sister. She loves having siblings and tells me she wants me to have two more kids so we can have five. And, yes, she does the math. She is so funny about the future, she tells me she wants to drive her kids in my car when she grows up and points to a house she wants to live when she grows up. She talks about all the kids she wants when she's a mommy and it makes me feel like I'm doing a good job when she wants to do things just like me when she grows up. She didn't seem to care about the fact that she will not live with us forever. But when I started talking about her growing up too fast, she didn't want me to be sad and started worrying about growing up, so I assured her it was going to be a long time before she gets big. She loves to dress up. She is so girly and makes the best expressions. She has a great personality and sense of humor. She loves to draw and color and build with things. She loves to be read to and snuggle and she always tells us she loves us. I can't imagine my life without her and she has definitely made these past four years wonderful and precious. I asked her some questions and here are a few of my favorite ones: Favorite animal: Unicorns Favorite color: every color Favorite fruit: watermelon What do you want to be when you grow up? a ballerina and a zoo keeper What are you good at? dancing What are you not good at? dancing on my tippy toes.
