Happy Birthday, my Sweet Girl! I can't believe that you are 4! You are a joy to us, Little Girl. You make me laugh daily and keep me on my toes. Nothing gets past you anymore. You feel things strongly and have a flair for drama! One of your catch phrases these days is "oh,come on!" I hear it uttered quietly, moaned loudly and screamed very loudly many times a day, usually when you are frustrated by something. You want to do everything yourself, but still need your mommy's "chen-chen" (attention) and snuggles several times a day. You love to play outside and the 30 days in a row of 100+ degree weather this summer has frustrated you to no end. Your love of Dora the Explorer has taken a back seat to Disney princesses, Tinkerbell, Barbie and Strawberry Shortcake. You can play wonderfully with your big brother and the two of you come up with very elaborate imagination games. Of course, you can also hold your own in a fight with him as well! You love your baby brother even if you don't always love the attention he gets. I was thinking back to when you were just a baby and remembering that even then you made sure to get your share of my attention :-) When nursing, every once in awhile, if I was talking to someone or looking the other way I'd feel a little fist pop me in the face as if to say "Hey! This is my time! Focus on me!" You declared your independence at a young age- you wanted your own bed much earlier than your big brother, were walking steadily by your first birthday and you weaned yourself by 14 months. This year you did many independent things- made friends at school, took ballet classes, decided to stop sucking your thumb cold turkey and potty trained yourself in a day. All these things were done on your own schedule, of course. I have a feeling this is going to be quite a year! Thanks for loving us, Madison! Happy 4th Birthday!
