| Last night as a 3 year old |
Sophie could not be happier with turning 4. To her she turned 14. To her, turning 4 meant she was a "big girl".
 |
| I had to show the whole picture to show her outfit of choice :)!! After all, it was her day! |
It seems like just yesterday I was sweating over welcoming a new family member to our family just after welcoming Karter Man. I wasn't sure about bringing home another baby so soon, but God knew what we needed. Sophie has brought so much laughter to our family. She has taught me patience, patience, and did I mention patience? She has been 1 of a kind since the day she was born. A firecracker to say the least. She can be hugging you and kissing you one minute and literally trying to pinch your arm off the next. She is the reason I had to result to "the spray" (vinegar + water) because she could care less about spankings. She is head strong, vibrant, and outgoing. When she walks in to a room, the entire atmosphere changes. She brings life everywhere she goes. I never knew I could love my 3rd child as much as my 2nd or 1st. But I do. I love her to the moon and the stars and Jupiter and Mars. I am beyond thankful God saw fit to bring her to our family. These 4 years have flown by and I am sure the next 4 will too. We are just holding on to each memory and making new ones each day.
Looking back......

| This moment never gets old. The happiness and amazement of bringing life into this World is like no other. |
 |
| Super happy big family :)!! |

| .... and then she turned 1 (IDK what I was thinking with that hair piece btw) |
 |
| ... and then 2..... |
 |
| .... and then 3..... |
... and today 4 (her singing to herself in the video)
 |
| ..... yet again another outfit of choice..... |
We started the day off by going to eat the yummy breakfast Papa cooked for her.
After breakfast, she decided to swing.... well topless.... (...after all.... it's HER day haha)
As you all know, we let each of them decide what they want to do on their special day. You know.... Chuck-E-Cheese, going out to eat, swim, splash pad, anything. Sophie chose to have a day WITHOUT any of us. That's right. She wanted to spend the day with Papa and Grandmama. I think she kept them pretty entertained and even went to the beauty shop with Grandmama. She also went to Freds and got all sorts of toys, the worker at the convenient store gave her candy and gum since it was HER DAY, she got gifts from Spot and Uncle Randy & Aunt Angela, and MeMe had a gift delivered. Not to count the many text messages and facebook messages I received wishing her Happy Birthday.
She also used the, "but it's my birthday" reasoning LOTS today. And it worked.
Tonight, we grilled supper to celebrate Father's Day since Dad was at work on Father's Day. After a yummy supper we put candles in ice cream and sang to the birthday girl.... about 3 different times I believe... ha!
Even though I didn't get to spend all day with the birthday girl, she spent it just the way she wanted.
I reminded her before she went to sleep that when she wakes up she will still be 4... she quickly said, "I'm already 4"... Like... duh... Mom!
