It is hard to believe that our little Anna is already four years old. She is growing up so fast! Anna has turned into quite the young lady these days. As you can see in the picture she is sitting like a true "princess." Since we just got back from Disney, she was able to learn the ways of the experts. Cindy and Snow White really made an impression on our little one. Anna is really coming into her own. She loves playing upstairs in her room with her dolls for hours. You can hear her little voice up the steps taking care of everyone, feeding and making sure they are all cozy in their beds. I never knew that Anna would turn into such a little "mommy." She is so nurturing and loving with her animals, babies and friends. Along that theme, I am learning that this child LOVES flowers. Everytime we go on a walk or are just playing outside, she will stop and try and pick the flowers. When we were in Florida last week, she was mesmerized by the gorgeous flowers! We even took a a few to Atlanta to give to Grammy and Angie. They were very impressed that those beautiful red flowers lasted our 10 our car ride. What the kiddos didn't realize is that I was impressed that they were so perfect during that 10 hour car ride! I did not hear one complaint or peep! That will be for another blog entry some other time.
Another thing that I have noticed about our little Anna is that she LOVES music and singing. It is wonderful hearing her little voice in the back of the car or up in her room. She has the sweetest little voice that is on pitch. (as Dave would say) I hope that this continues and becomes something that she loves like her Daddy. It would be amazing to have one or both of our kiddos have that kind of talent! Anna, we will just have to wait and see..ok?
Lastly, I want to let you know about the things that you are able to do at this age! I think that the hamster might be on the wheel and ready to go because you are really showing a love for learning! As of right now, you are able to write and spell. You love sitting down and asking us to spell things for you as you write. We have a lot of thank you notes to write but I am not sure this is the year for you to take them over. It would take a long time..maybe next year is your year! You also love to try and do math like Scott. Sometimes you get the answers right and we have no idea if it is because you truly understand what you are doing, it is memorized or you are guessing. Either way, it is really cute!
Another thing we have noticed is you have really started to show interest in drawing. You love to draw people with big heads! These heads have arms and legs coming off of them and it is so cute. They are like Egg people. I think you are a budding artist! You also love to color coloring pages. You have moved away from scribbling and really take your time actually coloring and staying in the lines.
I see a little bit of perfectionism in you but have no idea if that trait will stick. Besides your coloring you really show this perfectionism when you try and make your bed or clean your room. You take such pride in making sure that there are no wrinkles on your blankets and have everything folded so neatly. I might need to take lessons from you!
Anna, thank you. Thank you for being an amazing addition to our family. Your silly smiles and loving ways keep us on our toes all the time. Who knew that baby who literally screamed all day would turn into such a wonderful, happy and loving little four year old. I would love to bottle you up right now and never let you grow but I know that there is so much more for you to do. I can not wait to see what happens next. As of right now, we are already proud of the little star that you already are.
Happy Birthday Sweet girl.
Your Mommy and Daddy are very proud of you!
