At 4

My teeny-tiny baby Sade is 4 today......

She has mastered recognizing and writing all her upper case, and almost all of her lower-case letters.

She is like Megan and can make a new friend wherever she goes.

She adores make-up.

She likes to get her way, and can scream mighty loud when she doesn't. Mostly at Jackson, when he will not follow her orders.

She loves to draw.

Her favorite colors are pink and purple.

She's not too picky, and is willing to try new things.

Also like Megan she is a T.V. watcher.

She is a great independent player. Which is nice when Megan and Jackson are at school.

She doesn't like to talk about her feelings. At all. When she is uspset, sad, or gets her feelings hurt she totally shuts down.

She LOVES to cook. She always helps me in the kitchen, and is probably more skilled than both Megan and Jackson.

This Christmas season she kept calling Rudolph, red nosed. As in, "Do you think red-nosed is with Santa right now?" I couldn't get enough of it.

She has a model walk that is beyond her years.

She is quite well-behaved, and always says sorry when she does something wrong.

She talks non-stop, especially when we are in the car.

She is partial to dance music, and makes up her own choreography to any song she loves.

She remembers song lyrics easily.

She is always hungry, just like Jackson.

She is still beyond scared of bugs.

When we tickle her, she has taken to saying, "Oh yeah....That feels good. Oh yeah.... that feels good." You have to see it in person to truly appreciate it, but it is hilarious.

She makes each of us laugh every single day.

She no longer wants me to do her hair, and begs me to leave it down everyday. When I acquiesce, she thanks me profusely.

I love her with my whole heart. We are so lucky to have her.
