Right before my eyes you are changing every day.  You are so far from the baby and toddler.  You are a little girl.  Your body is changing and loosing the toddler like stance and belly that sticks out a bit. Your feet are getting big but I am still kidding them.  You still show me how you grew taller last night almost everyday.  I think it's very true.  Four years old seems so big.  You have dreams of what you want to be be when you grow up.  A thing finder (that has been the dream for a long while now) but recently you added a singer.  You want to make CDs and preform in different costumes.  When you put on dance shows there is so much more thren just twirling, your moves are to the beat and melodies and changes in ruthenium.  and even as you practice the same songs you will do the same moves and really are ceoregraphing!  Today another one of your dreams came true,.. You rose a Ferris wheel.  Pure joy.  It was so fun ridig it with you and experiencing the wonder with you.  I love you so so so much.

Yesterday hunting Easter eggs in the morning 

Today after dinner enjoying ice cream and a pop (Eli) 

Dear Lila,

You make my heart grow bigger every day.  We have just moved into our new house.  It has a big yard and a huge bedroom, we share and it really feels good here.   I know we will make lots and lots of really good memories here.  

You are 4 and you are growing up so fast.  Recently you have been playing with barbies and dolls a lot.  You have elaborate stories and change everyone's clothes and play out entire days for them. You look through books to "check them out" and then we read them.  It's so fun to see what you  play and  how sweetly you treat all of your babies and the wonderful stories you tell through your play.  

Today you were carrying Eli around in the bedyatds.  He kept walking down a path and you you go get him and you carries him back up.  

We also played a couple of games during Eli's afternoon nap.  Pretty pretty princess and memory.  You said this is so fun.  And I agreed a million times.  I live playing with you.  I love you Lila. 

Yesterday at momals house 

Princess tea party!

Today you had a beautiful tea party in the park to celebrate your 4th birthday.  All your friends from dance came and dressed up in princess dresses and we had lemonade, heart sandwiches, fruit wands and of course cupcakes.  

We also made wands and had a tattoo station (your name!)!  You planned everything you wanted to do including the idea of having everyone dress up. 

Gigi was there and you loved that and kept telling me how she would be there too!  

I loved watching you have fun.  You of course love openif your presents.  I think my favorite part was seeing you and our friends come out of the field with a giant giant stick to beat the piñata open.  Y'all would up getting a small one and after organizing yourselfs, taking turns, and even some girls closing their eyes while swinging.  Everyone made sure they were safe.  It was so cute to see all the princesses drag that giant stick and beat that piñata. 

I love you so so much Lila.  I never knew I would have a princess for a daughter but I am so lucky to have you.
