April 28, 2012 (already)

Can it really be that today we celebrate our Laney turning 4 years old? It seems a day of pure joy as we celebrate such a happy girl. Do I have a moment of sadness as I think about the baby years being behind us? YES! Do I have thoughts about Laney's birth family and how they must feel today? YES! They gave us the ultimate gift. I hope and pray they know Laney is our world and we love her beyond our wildest dreams.

So now about turning 4......Obviously I loved age 1 (we met Laney in China at 12 months old). Age 2 rocked my world and was just awesome  (I called them the terrific twos). Age 3 has been awesome but definitely more interesting maybe we should call it the trying threes. Just more independence and more testing the boundaries you know all that 3 year old jazz. Still awesome just a tiny bit more trying. So as she turns 4 I am looking so forward to what this year will bring. Maybe Fabulous Fours?

So what at this age is little Miss Laney like:
Laney loves to cuddle, to play games, to tell stories, to read books, to talk (non stop talking), to do homework, to bake & cook. Laney loves to be a home body and just hang out, just relax. Laney loves to pretend she is an Astronaut, Scientist, Doctor, Vet and a Cowgirl. She loves playing in water and/or sand (regular sand and molding moon sand), she loves to paint, she loves horses & lasso's, flashlights, the color purple, telling jokes, crafts, glue, music (singing, dancing, playing instruments and putting on shows), she loves to lounge/kick back and watch a show, movie etc. She is happy and loves to laugh.
A couple things she likes to eat (that seem pretty normal): Chocolate & Pasta.
A few things she likes to eat (that seem not so normal): Calamari, Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Marsala.
Several things she does not like (that seem not so normal): pizza (she will not eat anything with a red sauce). Chicken tenders/nuggets etc (she will not eat chicken with breading on it. Ketchup & Maple Syrup she won't eat.
Well off to enjoy a great weekend with a newly 4 year old - WOW!
