This
little lady was so thrilled to turn FOUR! It only seems like yesterday
she was learning to crawl and we were certain we had created a kidlet
with dark hair and ringlets for life!
She
truly cracks me up. I love the blatant honesty and zest for life.
Everything seems to interest her and she has a question for everything
from the purpose of the yellow lines on the road to whether when your
dead if bees will be there too!
She
definitely keeps me on my toes attempting to find a simple yet truthful
answer for all our fascinating questions. I love it....most days! Yet
at times I'm sure the needle got stuck on the record player when I think
there is no way I could here MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM MOM.....one more time
in a row.
Francis
is lovely for making me remember to see and look for all the wonderful
simplistic things that surround us and revel in it. Yet, there is
no doubt that there is a good chunk of me in her make up as she is one
feisty little character when she wants to be. I'm constantly telling
myself to stop and enjoy these wonderful quirky moments as it surprises
me to no end how fast this little lady will pass by ages and stages.
I
find it entertaining how she can't get enough of pink and purple and
everything "Frozen" these days but then turns around and loves to fish
with her dad and go "jumping in muddy puddles".
We
have had her birthday out at the farm two years in a row now and I've
been told this is where its at from now on. I love it as very little
planning needs to happen. They just come out and start running and
exploring which is so fun when a group of them are together.
Miss
Francis continues to be her caring and inclusive self. She gets
frustrated with her brother and bops him on the nose yet turns around
and begs to feed him and crawls up and bed and asks to sleep with him
the night. It'll be interesting to see how this relationship evolves as
her sister Luella has definitely proved to be a little bit more
entertaining however she surprises me how she considers her brother.
She's a little thinker.
As usual we had a little family birthday party for her and then a kidlet one and it was all about food, family and fun!
Already
I'm trying to slow things down and take in all these lovely moments. It
may sound cliche but I can not believe how time flies!
