Why do the years fly by so fast? How is my Lucy girl turning 4 today? I want to freeze time and bottle up her little personality so I can always have a sweet girl to make me laugh and give me a back rub and give me so many snuggles. But I'm pretty sure I said the same thing about her turning 3, so I guess it's true that every stage is more fun than the last.
Lucy is the most imaginative human I've ever met. She can make a game out of putting away the silverware and 40 minutes later is still pretending the dad is the big fork, the mom is the spoon and the 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon is the baby. She keeps us on our toes with her non-stop talking and loves to point out when someone isn't following the rules. She gets along great with other kids, and seems to be a good little friend. She loves to laugh, and thinks older kids are so cool. She is a good big sister (most of the time), and deep in her heart loves Olle very much. Lately she's been telling him how cute he is, and even wanted to rock him to sleep the other night.
Our family wouldn't look the same without Lucy in it. She has taught me a lot about self confidence because this is something she does not lack. I admire this trait in her and hope the world never steals this great joy from her. She is one of kind, and she owns that-- to the max.
One more year at home with this lady before she heads off to 4K. She's ready now, but I'm not. She has her whole life to grow up, and I feel so strongly that she only has this time to be little. To be a princess whenever she wants, or to play play-doh at the counter while I make lunch.
Lucy, I hope 4 is your best year yet. You are more beautiful than diamonds and more precious than rubies. You are a gem, and we love you more than all the treasure in the world.
live up your birthday girl!
