Fearless Four

Happy birthday my lovey Loodle!
Wow, what a year.  You've grown in inches and in strides. You are an independent, strong-willed, beautiful girl.
You began attending preschool, which you love. You are learning to recognize your name and have made lots of friends. Your vocabulary is growing. You know your birthday is in January and are so excited to be "this many". You can count to ten. You needed glasses and began to receive speech therapy to help with some sound errors.
You LOVE to talk.... You don't notice or care that people can have a hard time understanding you.  When you are excited, your voice is high pitched and soft and you ramble so fast we can't understand you. When you are serious, you are loud and clear, like when you told the McDonald's cashier your "mama NEEDS coffee" or when you said "this song breaks my heart".


 

You are witty and silly. You love life and care about people.  You are your sister's little bodyguard and you love to help.
  
  
 
Dancing and spinning are still your passions. You love to sing.

You love your babies. Santa and several other people gave you lots of babies for Christmas. Watching you open gifts was the best because everything was "it's my favorite. I love it so much". You still love Frozen, but also Moana, Trolls, and Daniel Tiger. You love to pretend and play dress up.
  
 
You loved our trip to the beach and often ask when we can go back.
     
You finally earned your Elsa doll for waking up dry... It may have had something to do with a bit of healthy sibling rivalry! But whatever it takes ;)
We have had our share of struggles this year as we have all learned to navigate the year of three, as you've tried new things, become even more independent and tested boundaries, as well as with the things none of the five of us are able to control. But I promise you, my love, you are so loved and always, always worth it.
I am so very much looking forward to having 2018 be the year we finally get to make our forever promise to you.
I love you with all my heart, my sweet girl.
Mama
