| Smile Kate–You’re FOUR! |
 |
| Kate has a steady hand at Jenga. |
She’s a natural animal tamer–as I fully expect all of my children to be with me as their mother, heehee.
And whoever says people don’t change obviously have no idea what they’re talking about. One of the things I admire about Kate and her sisters who so often teach her, is that she’s willing to try things that scare her, at least once. As a toddler, she wasn’t very fond of creepy, crawly bugs but after Claire showed her how fun they can be, she’s taken right to them and hasn’t looked back.
…and won’t be surprised in the slightest when she falls in love with galloping a horse, combing her love of horses and wind-whipped hair.
…and she loves to exercise, even if it makes her sweaty, sometimes chips a nail or is hard to do in a skirt.
She had an extra special birthday this year with visiting grandparents and cousins. We played, went to the apple orchard, ate with Evelyn and Claire at school, colored, played games…

| That mean wasp didn’t know it was her birthday! |
…except for the part where a wasp got her while she was climbing the playground. Obviously, it didn’t get the memo that it was her special day.
And, of course, she had plenty of presents. She could hardly contain herself while they sat on the table.
One of her favorites–a walking, talking kitten. I asked if I should have just gotten a toy instead of Nova and she gravely told me no…she loves them both. That is definitely true of Kate–always room for everyone.
As the budding chef she is, she helped make and design her cake. Only in a little girl’s fantasy world do birds sit on pink nests surrounded with blue flowers and lay dozens and dozens of M&Ms as eggs. Hey. What the birthday girl wants, the birthday girl gets!
