Today is Audrey's birthday and she is so super-excited about turning 4! This morning when she woke up she discovered a new bike. She is thrilled. All morning long she rode it around the house. She has Joy School today, but I'm sure after school she'll be riding it outside.
Miss Audrey is such a joy to our family. She has learned and grown so much this past year. She's a pro at writing her name and can write lots of other things if they are spelled for her. Audrey LOVES playing with Rachel. From the minute Rachel gets home from school until dinnertime they are busy playing. And it varies... Sometimes they play school, sometimes dog, sometimes on the computer, sometimes "sweetie", and sometimes outside. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it's with her sister. And luckily when Rachel has friends over to play, they include Audrey.
Audrey is also a good independent little player as well. So on the days she doesn't have school or friends over of her own, she is happy to just play in her own little world. Sometimes we are amazed at the words she uses and the things she does. It's fun to see her learn so quickly.
Some of her wishes for her birthday are an electric toothbrush (she's been told for years she has to be 4), a guitar, a haircut (just a trim), and fluoride rinse. Can you tell she has an older sister who she wants to be like? We are headed to the doctor tomorrow and she's not thrilled about getting shots. Hopefully all goes well.... She is around 40 inches tall and probably 27 pounds. I'll confirm tomorrow...
Our little 4 year-old can be quite the picky eater. There are many nights she just won't eat what we're eating. So unfortunately a hot dog or chicken nuggets get heated up real quick for her. Probably not the best habit to get into... But there's hope, because Rachel was once like that and now she's a really good eater. Audrey does love fruit though, especially pears. She also like almonds and pistachios. She's pretty adventurous, but once she tries something and doesn't like it, that's the end. She calls foods "too spicy" when she doesn't like the flavor. The other night we had bbq pulled pork sandwiches and the bbq sauce was "too spicy". Oh well, we'll keep on trying.
Audrey loves all things girly. She loves being able to put make-up on, getting her nails painted, and she loves deciding what to wear and how to do her hair. Her favorite hairdo right now is a back bun. Audrey LOVES shoes. Every time we walk near shoes in any store, she wants to stop and try on. I try to avoid the shoe department. She is a good little errand runner though. Every once in awhile we get whiny, but for the most part she tags along well.
We are so blessed to have Audrey in our lives. It's so crazy to think that she's 4. She's my little baby who I was brave enough to have over in Amsterdam and she's growing up and doing so much. Sometimes I just want to freeze time, but we've all wanted that and it's not possible. So, here's to enjoying another year with our little Audrey!
