Emily, on your fourth birthday here are some things about you that we definitely want to remember:
- For your birthday you asked for a basketball and last weekend you asked if you could play in Reese's YMCA game. I think you are definitely ready to be playing sports with all that energy.
- You definitely keep us on our toes. You love to run and do things on your own. Most places we go, we have to consider "the Emily factor" which basically means are there enough adults involved that one can be focused on you? ;)
- You love, love, love puzzles. This summer you found a floor puzzle at Nana's house in RI and you did it all day long, every day. Since then you've been a bit obsessed with puzzles. Luckily, you got 3 new ones for your birthday!
- You love to sing and dance. You also like reading books and drawing.
- You still like Wild Kratts a lot (probably because your brother and sister made you watch it so much) but lately you've been requesting Daniel Tiger, too.
- Lately you've been waking up and asking us if it's a daycare day or a stay-at-home day. It's pretty cute and we like that you want to stay home with us.
- This summer you tried riding Asher's old bike and I think, if we'd had a few more months of nice weather, that you would've been taking the training wheels off. You have a lot of coordination and may be our athlete in the family some day?
We love our spunky little girl and can't wait to watch you do more and more. You certainly keep us on our toes but we're hoping that means you have a lot of "leadership potential". Happy Birthday, Emily!
Love, Mom and Dad
