How can it be?! FOUR years! You are 100% in all you do, fully animated when you talk, your facial expressions are for real. You can make me melt….and instead of cooking dinner at 5:30 sure let’s just make cookies…just because you stared at me with those eyes! You love big. For the last 1.5 weeks each morning you duck walk out of your room to go to the bathroom and return the same way. Our morning cuddles is one of my absolute favorite things. Books and stories….you are nuts about them, I think that might be why you have picked up on reading so early. You use your “cheetah powers to run fast” and your “snake powers to win games”! You love your brother. You pray for caterpillars, rain, for Jesus that died on the cross. You know “spice is flavor.” You ask for more pepper. You’ve eaten cottage cheese like a mad man since you were itty bitty. You once caught a pregnant catfish and told everyone you met about it for the next three months. You can take a piece of string and tangle it up like I’ve never seen before and then somehow mange to untangle it and do it all again. Right now you think it’s fun to drag an antler around that you tied up. You eat watermelon like no one else. You might have gills I haven’t found yet, you LOVE water. Your favorite color is red. You want to be a giant when you get big, so you can carry everyone on your back.
Happy 4th Birthday my love!
Merrick you are you and I love every second getting to see you be you!
