I can't believe that Kady is 4. She seems so big, and it doesn't help that she suddenly stopped sucking her thumb and taking her "derdy bwankie" everywhere. The first big step. She is a sweet, loving girl who lights up a room whenever she steps in. Her favorite color is purple, she wants to be a doctor when she is all grown up, and loves to do her own thing. She can't wait to go camping this summer and go to school in the fall. She loves being a big helper, and has to fight for room on a chair to help me cook or bake. I love my little sunshine with all my heart! She loves to color and draw, dance, tell jokes, and just be silly.
Her special day started with a living room full of balloons. She helped bake and decorate her cupcakes, and got to open a new present every couple of hours. She got "goggle-eyes", hence an afternoon in the backyard pool, and new water bottle, art set, sparkly butterfly necklace and music box. Grandpa and Grandma Cochran came for dinner. She referred to herself in the third person all day as "the birfday gewrl" She even announced that the birthday girl gets to choose where we sit as we entered Russ' (long story, wasn't my first choice, but was very fun and good), and choose her own booth. Daddy made it home to give her lots of kisses and hugs right at bedtime, making record time from a week long trip to St. Louis.
I admire your free spirit, sense of independence, and yet your love for snuggles and special mommy time. I look forward to having a 4 year old and watching you grow even more! I love you Kates, Kady-Kate, Kady, Kadence, missy-poo!
