Happy 4th Birthday, Sophia!

I woke up at 5AM this morning with a jolt. I fogot to wrap Sophia's birthday presents and I promised her she could open them when she wakes up. So, I've been up for a while and I have to say, it's been a great early morning without anyone else in the house awake. I made muffins, checked all my email, paid bills, unloaded the dishwasher and folded some laundry! Normally those 4 tasks alone take me ALL DAY.

I wrapped her presents and I bought donuts for her this morning. They are her absolute favorite breakfast food.

All week Sophia has been sad about growing older. She woke up crying on Tuesday night because she wants to stay 3 forever. I think she's afraid that she has to move out of the house when she's "older". She told me that if anybody comes to the door to marry her to tell them to GO AWAY! We keep telling her all the things that she'll be able to do now that she's 4: ride a bike, swing all by herself, learn to tie her shoes, swim, etc... All fun things, but she's not buying into the fact that 4 might be better than 3!

Believe me, I'd love to have her stay 3 forever and ever and ever and ever.
