Dear Maggie,
Today you are 4 and yet, you are still my baby. You tell me that you are a Little Kid and that you can't wait to go to kindergarten. You need to hold onto that thought though as you have another 18 months or so before that happens!
You had a great year! You went so many places (Disneyland, Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Glacier, California) and this coming year, you'll go so many more. You love riding in airplanes, hitting up the hotel suitcase cart and swimming in hotel pools. Actually you just love swimming which you are doing astonishingly well. You have started to really get your arms out of the water and your fierce kick propels you across the water.
You are still an amazing eater. You will try almost anything and love vegetables. In fact, I can serve you a plate of veggies and you just chow down. I keep waiting for that to change but so far, it hasn't.
You are going to speech therapy and you are not a fan. You like your new therapist better but overall, not a fan. I bribe you every week with sushi from Met Market. You are a sushi hound!
You are enjoying your preschool and get into all sorts of adventures there. Your preschool teacher is always texting me silly stories about you. We both love how you see the world.
While you try my patience at times, I really do love your stubborn, determined demeanor. You know what you want and will do whatever it takes to get it. Sometimes the trick is getting you to take a deep breath to listen to my thoughts on the matter. Sometimes you do and then you listen and we compromise. I love it when that happens.
May you always have your loud, boisterous spirit. As long as you can corral it, it will serve you well. Just remember to breath first.
