Hello Birthday Girl!My sweet Brownie, I can't even find the words to tell you how much I adore you. I've adored you from the very start. I remember all the times throughout our history together where I've snuggled you, kissed your beautiful cheeks, held your hand, checked on you at night, let you pour in some ingredient while baking, watched "Arfur" with you and I almost want to cry.
I don't want to cry because I am sad, but because I never knew that something I had never known, felt, kissed, or held just four short years ago could drastically change my life. I don't think I will ever forget the moments when we began to know each other. And everyday, I truly enjoy discovering just who this sweet little Brownie is!
Thank you for all of the endless entertainment you are always providing. One of my favorite things about you is your sense of creativity--especially when it comes to clothes. You fancy yourself a builder, artist and blanket layer-outer (you love deciding how the blankets on your bed will look each day), but you are certainly at one of your bests when you are putting an outfit together. You love dresses, shoes, purses, bows/headbands/clips. There is hardly a day that goes by in which you don't ask me to "put this" in your hair. God most certainly blessed me with a girly girl and I love it--I love you!
You also love to pose. I don't think anybody ever explained the concept of posing to you, but you sure do come by it naturally. The pictures below are some of my favorites of you posing...
Nobody ever taught you this pose--I swear. But somehow you just knew it!
You built this structure on the first day of school this year; when I wanted to take a picture of it, you proudly posed right by it!
And when others are not paying attention to all of my "Hey girls, look at mommy!" calls, here you are looking right at me with a bright smile on your face. Just fantastic!!!
Brownie-
Thank your for allowing me to enjoy your childhood with you. Not a day passes by where I wish I was off at work missing all of the wonderful kisses and hugs, songs you sing or questions you ask (no matter how bizarre). I am so blessed to watch you grow up right before my very eyes. I hope your 5th year will be as exciting as this one has been. And one little piece of advice mommy has to offer you: It's okay to be a year behind Peach. Enjoy being a year younger and never wish the time away. It is passing us by every second of everyday!
Happy Birthday to the most adorable 4 year old I know!! Mommy loves you (this much) forever!
-Mama
