Emily is Four

Our sweet little baby girl turns four today.  Emily's birthday always seems a bit paradoxal for me:  I can't believe that she is already four, but at the same time, she seems so much older than four - how is that possible?  And likewise, her journey from three to four has been both surprising and amazingly predictible.  High points from the last year include starting preschool, learning to survive all day without Elizabeth, mastering the skill of manipulation, learning how to swim all by herself, going from a daily three hour nap to no nap in the span of two weeks (and simultaneously, falling asleep at the drop of a hat), still clinging to her beloved Lambie, mysteriously learning how to write her name (we did not teach her, nor did her preschool teacher, who told that me that they only worked on recognizing letters this year, not writing them), and developing a wonderful sense of humor.  We truly enjoy seeing the world through our little Emily's eyes and we are looking forward to what age four will bring about.  Happy Birthday to our sweet baby girl.

  

Truly happy.
