four.

it happened.  crosby turned 4.  and i say it every time on each of their birthdays, but i just can't fathom that they're growing up, and so fast.  i tell myself each and every day to slow down and enjoy the moments, because they will be gone in a blink, but with the busyness of our days, it's hard to do that sometimes.  so for today, i hold her and snuggle her and love her up really well, because tomorrow, she'll be 4-years-and-1-day and that's 1 day closer to five.  here's a little post about our sweet and salty little.


crosby at 4-years-old...

*still wants to be held all the time
*is smiling and happy 98% of the time
*hates her hair behind her ears or put in a ponytail, but will allow harper to do it every once in a while
*asks for kisses and then rubs them off to be silly
*goes nowhere without poppy
*argues with her sister about sharing, especially when harper wants one of her toys, but will cry if harper won't share
*wants mom or dad to lay with her in bed for a little bit, and when that parent leaves, she wants the other one, and so on and so on and so on
*says blueblerry for blueberry, holder cup for cup holder, and babing suit for bathing suit
*always asks to leave her door all the way open and the bathroom light on for bedtime
*is completely potty trained (since last july), sleeps in a big girl bed and is learning to ride a toddler bike
*says "look out fa low!" (look out below) and plays "I spy little my eye"
*when i start to say my prayer to her at night, she immediately holds up 1 finger, indicating she still wants me to lay with her for 1 more minute after prayer is done
*uses big words, like realize, disgusting, bandages, and traffic jam
*could sit and watch movies and tv shows all day long if you let her
*loves to sit and snuggle
*adores animals, especially little ones and baby ones
*is strong-willed, determined, feisty and oh-so-loving





harper really is a good big sister, and despite the almost constant bickering, deep down they really do love each other.
