Four For Sure

I can’t believe I’ve blogged about my daughter’s second birthday, and her third, and now she’s FOUR!  She’s grown up so much in the last year.  When I wrote about her on her third birthday she was such a mix of little and big.  Now she’s so independent.  Four for sure.  She gets herself ready for kindy, packs her bag and kisses me goodbye with barely a “See ya’ Mum!”  I’m glad I’m still home full time for her though.  It’s lovely to be the one to drop her off and pick her up from kindy (even if  have to drag her away most days because it’s the awesome-est place in the world).

We celebrated with family this year, and her choice was a bbq at the rainforest – with a ladybug cake.  That’s my girl.  I love that she wanted to be outdoors, exploring.  We had a wonderful time walking through the rainforest together, especially since a certain awesome aunty gave her new gumboots to stomp around in!  (We {heart} gumboots.  Thanks Sis!)

I know I’m biased, but she’s a really special kid, and I’m so glad I get to be her Mum.

    My littlest just turned two and we, too spent it outdoors. I say it’s OK to brag just a bit — our little sweeties need our love! :)

    Congratulations! Both to you and your beautiful 4yo. What a fabulous milestone. Ladybirds are one of my favourite insects! – Especially ones made from cake ;)

    My youngest turns 4 in a month today. Time flies so quickly. What a lovely way to mark a special day. I love the cake too. I’m apparently making a ‘whale cake’ for my boy. Thank goodness for those Womens’ Weekly cake books …

    It’s great that Gran was up there for her birthday. Hope you all had a great time. Did you know that your mother was sometimes called Ladybird? Mainly, because of your dad being called Beetle.
