Our 4 year old

I thought this published in May, right after her birthday, but it didn't.  So I am just now publishing it though it was written months ago.

Lila Grace turned 4 on Saturday, the 18th. The last few months, our curly girl has grown up so much. Her development has been slower than her big sister's, not because there's something wrong, but because Lila likes being little. In fact, for this birthday she wanted to be 3 again!

The day of her birthday was also the day of her and Lyra's combo birthday party. I've never combined their parties, and I probably won't do this again. This year has been so difficult and this was a way to make it easier.

Lila Grace started her day by being awoken with Mommy & Daddy singing "Happy Birthday" to her while she was still in bed. She had her party at Jump, which was a big hit! Then we went to eat dinner with Nana & Pop.

On Tuesday night, Daddy & I took her to Build-a-Bear for her gift from us.  The bear's name is Lavender and is quite "girly" for a bear.  She also got a new outfit in purple - her favorite color.

The morning of her birthday it was raining.  The trees in the yard had bloomed and the flowers were falling with the rain.  She commented, "Look Mommy! It's raining flowers on my birthday!"  Our sweet girl sees the wonder and beauty in everything.  She is such a joy.
