Grace is 4

Dear Grace,

You are now 4 years old! Time slow down! You had a beautiful and fun princess birthday party. Your friends came over, dressed in their favorite princess dress, and we hired Belle, from Beauty and the Beast to come to your party. She sang songs, read a story, and played with you and your friends. It was a lot of fun! You dressed in your new Beauty and the Beast dress and looked so beautiful. 

Some fun things about you!

Your annual check-up went great! Daddy took you while I watched the boys. The doctor said you're very smart and healthy. We are so thankful to God! You may have 20/30 vision, nothing to be concerned about yet and they'll check you again next year. The hearing test went okay. You might have a little trouble hearing out of one of your ears. They said they'll check it again next year. We have forms to get your blood work done again to test your peanut and egg allergies. If the peanut allergy hasn't increased much, we can try some elimination treatments. Which would be great!

Here are your stats:

Weight: 37 lbs
Height: 35.25 inches

You gained 4 lbs and grew 3.25 inches.

You are kind, funny, smart, witty, caring, and a joy to be around. You love going to church and after every class you excitedly tell me what you learned about. I love your memory for details! You love doing schoolwork and ask to do schoolwork daily! Even when I wasn't planning any schoolwork for you. You love books and want to learn to read this year. You love playing with dolls and are very motherly. Every night you put your babies all to sleep. The gift you wanted the most this year was 6 baby dolls that each came with a baby item. You have enjoyed dressing them and helping them get to sleep at night as well. We love you so much, Grace! Here are some pictures from your birthday.

Love,
Mom
