who didn't get a proper birthday post….my babies..they all made their way into the world all bunched up at the end of the year. 5 months- 4 babies (4 birthdays) and christmas thrown in the mix too…..fun fun fun..
Anyway so here we are…..
1. On your fourth birthday you are our beautiful little girl.
2. You are cautious with new people but warm and sweet when you take to them.
3. You love the TV. We have battles about how much of it you should watch. You want more, I want less.
4. You love to cook. You are always the first to ask 'can i help' when there is some food preparation going on. You chop carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, broccoli..anything really. You will have a go at stirring and whisking and you pretty much know the ingredients for fairy cakes off the top of your head.
5. You love books. You are a bookworm. Often at pre school that is what i find you doing, in the book corner looking at books. You favourite book changes and the night time book is always taken to bed with you and you will flick through it before settling down. You like all charlie and lola books.
6. You play in your own world a lot..playmobil characters come to life and live busy and slightly complicated and bizarre lives on our playroom floor. I remember the horse that lived in the house with the fairies and the toy cars and trains coming over for lunch.
7. You get scared very easily. We cannot do 'lets pretend to be lions and tigers' with you. Its not your thing.
8. You love cats but you are scared of dogs.
9. You pick up music very quickly. A song you hear on the radio you will be humming at tea and it will then become 'your song'
10. You are so sensitive but sometimes hiding behind the toughness of being the third kid. You can get rough and mean to your baby sister but then cover her in kisses. Its okay you know..the struggle to find your fit…we get that…but we've seen you giving Matilda a quick knock when you think no-one is looking, you tinker.
11. You are a little reluctant to say sorry and sometimes have to think about the 'i forgive you' but the important thing is that you get there. I actually prefer it to the sometimes flippant 'sorry'…it shows you are giving to some thought.
12. You said your favourite meal is Cake!
13. You have an aversion to socks…you never ever keep them on….this is not a new thing but it is something that on occasion makes me go demented.
14.You are the only one of our kids who eats tomatoes!
15. You have the most amazing blue eyes.
16. You love swimming…the first time you started swim class i just about had to hold my heart in my chest the way you threw yourself in the water.
17. You tried ballet..you gave it up..you want to do it again now…..
18. You learn spanish. You can say a few spanish words, i think you love it that you do something that your siblings don't..third child thing again huh?
19. You hate wearing any clothes that are in the tiniest bit wet…just a speck of water will send you stripping off.
20. You have the most incredible belly-bubbling laugh. You always have had. I remember someone commenting on it when you were only a baby. Its contagious.
21. quite simply you are gorgeous and your mum’s summary of you brought a tear to my eye.
Wow Sarah, she is so like you, took me back to French classes for a minute. Not just in looks either, some of your observations are familiar……. Miss you guys xxxxx
