Four

My little girl turned four on the 6th of October. This past year, she has grown from a toddler to a little girl. Literally, she has gained 6 pounds and probably grown over 6 inches. She has long legs, blond curls, and I still consider her my sunshine. No matter the weatherm, she can always make me smile. I am wondering how soon it will be before she is taller than her mother? Kate is very creative, she is always using a toy in a way that it was never intended to be played with. (FYI, that is truly payback for me, I always did that. According to my mom, I did not play with my toys, instead a would set up a store and pretend to sell them.) At preschool they have free coloring and her pictures amaze me. She draws ladybugs, houses, family members and her pets. She is very conscious of those around her, family or friends, even her animals. She wants to make sure that the cats and dogs get treats and water in their bowls. She even helps with feeding them at meal time and she loves to play. Kate also has quite a sense of humor. One of the funniest things is to watch her play with the dogs. Kate chases Dixie, Belle follows and then Stephen the crawling caboose behind them all, making laps around the house. She adores her little brother and he watches out for him, like a big sister should, but for her age she is very conscientious. I was opening the oven to take out dinner and from across the room she is holding the back of his overalls so he couldn't come near the oven. She shuts doors, tells me when Stephen is heading towards the steps, climbing chairs..... a little momma and a really good one. He wants to do everything she does and she helps include him in her activites. She is genuinely a sweet girl and she makes me so proud to be her momma.
