4/22/20 – Your 4th Birthday

This morning, when I woke up, you were laying in my bed with your hands over your ears, as though we had been keeping you up! You woke up while I was in the shower. You threw open the bathroom door, ran in and said “Good morning Mama!!” I said “Happy birthday sweet girl!!” You squealed, “yayayayayayayyyaya I’m foooooouuuuuurrrrrrr!!!!” What a great way to start the day. You took a birthday bath & you love to feel how far down your back your hair has grown.

When we arrived at school, Ms. Amber was at the gate and greeted you with a Happy Birthday welcome! You had a great day, and brought home a cute birthday card with a picture of your class on it. You also brought home a rainbow windsock that you made for Ms. Sandy’s birthday! I came home from work early to make ziti for your birthday party tonight. You were napping on Ms. Sandy on the couch. You looked so peaceful.

You woke up shortly after I got home and you couldn’t wait to open your gifts from Ms. Sandy. Shortly after Ms. Sandy left, Marcela dropped by to bring you a birthday gift. Excitedly, you told her today is your very first day of being 4! You were so excited to open it and find it was an Elsa doll with 3 different dresses (ones you didn’t have!). You immediately opened it and played with it.

“Hey, you are supposed to bring me a gift!”

Joe Romo arrived a little while later & you ran to the door to invite him in. You scolded him in the hallway & said “hey, you are supposed to bring me a gift!” Luckily, he thought you were funny/cute! Many of your gifts were delayed in shipping because of the virus! Grandma Noot arrived next and you hit her up immediately about where her gift was too lol! Romo, Aunt Deb, Fed & Grandma Weezie also came. Grandma Weezie was so excited to make your cake. It was cute & delicious! She even found some Frozen characters to put on it! You hardly ate anything because you were so excited to open your presents. You apparently have decided that you don’t like gifts to be in boxes – they are too hard to open!! You sighed in frustration, box after box lol! Nana Lesleah gave you a TON of Disney dresses, Ariel jammies, a stuffed Ariel and Little Mermaid figurines.

We all sang Happy Birthday & you jumped around like crazy! Finally, the long awaited time to have cake! You don’t love anything more, except maybe frosting!!!! Aunt Deb got you an awesome Arendelle castle dollhouse, Frozen bubble wand, Elsa & Anna dress up shoes, jewelry & a crown, and a light up scooter!!! Elizabeth Munoz sent you Frozen figurines & a unicorn cookie baking set! You have so may people who love you and boy did they show it & spoil you!! When Aunt Deb, Fed & Grandma Noot were ready to leave, you walked them out to their cars. But then, you started to play with Fed, chasing him on his Hoverboard (sneaking a ride) & signing songs with him. It was almost 11p when we finally got into bed. We did one Lingo (Italian lesson on Duolingo), read part of a story and you were out like a light! You drifted off to sleep while snuggling with your new Elsa doll. I couldn’t stop kissing your forehead. What a great 1st day of being 4. I hope all of the rest of your days are just as happy.

I love you so much sweet girl. Happy Birthday!!!
