Brooklyn's 4th Birthday

Since we had already celebrated Brooklyn's birthday the day before, we kept her actual birthday pretty low key. We, of course, still did the traditional birthday donut. Brooklyn insisted on eating it outside where she had her birthday cake the previous day.
She had a hard time grasping the fact that she is actually 4 now. She's been talking about turning 4 since she turned 3. She kept saying, "I'm not 4 yet! If it was 4 then I'd be at school!" She's too funny!


Just a lazy day at home..



Some fun things I want to remember about Brooklyn...

• Every year it amazes me that she gets even weirder.
• She loves to watch Dora on my "umputer".
• She adores Dylan.
• She's now figuring out that she can actually play with him. The other day I caught her with a rope tied around his leg. She said she was going to walk him like a kitty cat. A couple things wrong with that picture...
• She says funny things ALL the time. I wish I was better about writing then down as they happen.
• She has names all her baby dolls "Jacobs".
  
• She thinks that she'll be a baby again one day. One time after she was talking about being a baby again I tried to explain to her that she'll just get bigger not smaller. I said, "You're not going to be a baby again. You'll just get bigger. Next you'll be 4 and start preschool, then 5 and start kindergarten, then you'll go to 1st grade, then you'll go to junior high, then high school, then you'll graduate and go to college and then you'll get married and have babies." She just stared at me the whole time I was talking and replied, "Well, that sounds fun."
• She calls any random older people grandma or grandpa. We'll be in Target and I'll hear her say, "Hi Grandma!" They're not always amused.
  
• She still has NO modesty. Before she gets in the bath she has to run into the family room naked to show us her bunsies. The problem is that she does it even if we have company.
• She LOVES her dance class and seems to be a natural:)
• She's never really liked sleeping in our bed at night till recently. Now she wants to be in our bed and cuddle. She likes to fall asleep with my arm over her chest.
• She's a petite little thing. She finally hit 30 pounds though! She's 37.5 inches.
  
• She talks about going to school all the time. She says, "I'm so excited to go to school!! But I'm going to miss you. It's ok though you can leave me there, just pick me up."
• She loves figuring out who peoples parents are. For example she'll say, "Grammy, who's your mom? Is it Grandma fish?" Or "Nana who's your dad? Is it Bapa?" She's got it pretty well figured out.
• She loves to be out and around people.
• She's VERY outgoing and not shy at all. She's got a great little personality. She makes me laugh everyday.

How did she get so big?!?





Happy Birthday Brooklyn!
