Get a little cuter, how about?
I wish I had time to update this blog more. Your little sister at 10 months old is giving me a run for my money. She crawls around and is getting into everything. You have gotten SO good with her, though. You have almost totally mastered the "giving her something new before taking something away" trick. You can make her laugh instantly. Sometimes you hug her a little tight and have some kind of weird desire to put your feet on her head but otherwise you are a dream big sister. Thanks, kid. Junie thanks you, too.
The 4 year old you is really cool. You're fun and funny and strong-willed and funny and funny and funny. The other day I put this new "dry shampoo" in my hair (it's like powder that is supposed to suck up the oil in dirty hair) and I leaned down to help you with your shoes and you said, "Mom! What did you do!? Your hair smells like GASOLINE!"
When you set the table you do the funniest thing with the napkins. See picture below.
That thing with the napkins is all kinds of awesome.
I love all of the things you're into these days. You are very into headbands and you got a few new ones the other day that you adore. So much in fact that when you get up in the middle of the night and come get in bed with me and June, you bring your headband and put it on my bedside table. That way, you can put it on the SECOND you get up.
You also love your Barbies and you're always changing their names. Sophie, Minerv (yes, no A), Cassandra, Bella, Dionna, Jillian, McKenna. Sometimes you change Junie's name, too. Gloria was her name yesterday. She doesn't really look like a Gloria to me, but you were convinced.
We got a Charlie Brown Christmas app on the iPad that you play with a lot. I didn't really think you'd be so into it but you think all of the things they say in that movie are hilarious. This morning I walked into your room where you and Junie were playing and Junie was messing with your dollhouse and you said to your Barbies, "See? I told you she'd goof it up."
I love you so much. We've been butting heads a little bit lately because let's face it - we're both strong personalities. There will probably be a lot of that to come. But I always love you. Always always always. You will always be my sweet little baby. Even when you're big and telling me that if I don't come upstairs and zip your sleeping bag RIGHT NOW that you will get REALLY MAD and even when I'm saying, "one more whine out of you and there will be trouble!". I love you always, no matter what.
Love,
Mama
