Dear Blair

My lovely dear, I cannot believe you are four.  Four going on 20 some days.  You seem so grown up to me with the things you understand and say.  I am so proud of how smart and funny you have become.  Your beauty is far beyond what we can see on the outside (which is fabulous by the way) but your heart is sweet and your mind is sharp and your joy is contagious.  Here are some special things about you.

• You are so patient with tasks.  You love to do crafts, workbooks, games... you just like to learn about new things and talk with people about your activities.
• You are such a chatty girl and great storyteller.  You understand how to make stories funny and entertaining for people.  You have such an imagination for everything you see.
• Your intelligence astounds me everyday.  You notice everything around you.   You are especially observant when we drive and you come up with random things and funny things and smart things to say all the time.  I can't believe what you can remember.
• You love school.  You are shy but you love making friends when they approach you.  From what I can tell you listen and learn so much there.
• You have such a sweet heart.  You can be so sweet to us and your friends and your sister and I just love to see unexpected love.
• You have been quite a challenge lately as well.  You know what you want and are smart enough to really be testing mommy and daddy lately.
• You still love reading, crafts, TV, and being out and about all the time.
• You love pizza, taco bell and mac & cheese.  You are still pretty picky but are decent about trying food.  
• Some details about your daily life: You sleep from about 8:30 pm-7:30 am.  You take a "nap" ever day for an hour and a half but it is really just a rest time where you play alone in your room.  You go to preschool 2 days a week and you go to "daycare" at Auntie Acoles house when Mommy is at work.  We go places almost everyday since you like to be active.  You do ballet class and gymnastics class every week and you also do swim lessons here and there to keep you loving the water.  You love to see your family and friends whenever you can.
• You are about 42 inches tall and weigh 39.5 pounds

Mommy and Daddy are SO proud of you and love to see you learn and grow!  No need to grow up so fast though little bear...
