Happy fourth birthday Lucy-loo!!

I can't believe Lucy is four! She has been counting down until her birthday for a long time!

I'm trying to think of how much Lucy has changed since she turned 3. She no longer is scared of bugs....she squishes and squashes them all by herself, screams at them, shoos them away. She is still all girl. She would choose a dress everyday, loves to pick her own stuff. She often gets dressed before I get out of bed in the morning. She would much rather wear her dress up high heels than any real shoes, and if we would let her wear make up....she would be all over it. She is not afraid to tell me what outfits she likes of mine, what looks good, and what shoes I should wear with what. My little fashionista.

Lucy is very sensitive to others. She is very concerned about others feelings, and is a great big sister in that way. She is always teaching Kadence, showing her how to do things, and helping her to do it herself. She has such patience. She always has a smile and a laugh. She brightens up my world.

Lucy still is very inquisitive. She tells me stories about things I would think she would know nothing about. It will be fun to see how she blossoms when school starts in the fall. She has why questions about everything, and your first answer usually doesn't give her the info that she wants/needs. She is my morning girl. She goes from fast asleep to jumping around in less than a second. Her best stories come in the morning, she always can surprise me with what she comes up with. The other day Kadence was being a little rough with me, and basically pile driving my belly. I told her she needed to be gentle with the baby. "why?" asks Kady. I responded with the baby might cry....and then Lucy said "then the baby will have even more water to swim in!"

She has a great imagination. I love to listen to her play with her barbies or bears and hear the stories she comes up with. Everywhere she goes she is "making new friends". Her is a sample conversation from this weekend:

Lucy: Hi, I'm Lucy what is your name

girl: Hannah

Lucy: Where do you live? I live at east woodmeade Court

girl: charlotte

Lucy: do you have any sisters?

girl: no

Lucy: oh, do you want to be my friend?

It's so cute to try and be a bystander....pretend I'm not around, but really wanting to hear where this is all going. This is one of many "friends" she made just over the weekend. She is so excited to come and tell us all about them later.

What a blessing God gave us just 4 short years ago. Lucy can always make me smile, put life in perspective, and leave me waiting for what is next. Love you goosey!!
