Mary Claire,
I can NOT believe you are four years old already! It seems like just yesterday I was praying for you! I remember the day you joined our lives so vividly. I could not believe how big you were and how beautiful you were! I had always prayed to God for a blonde hair, blue-eyed daughter and He answered two of the three prayers just as I requested!
You are a very sweet and well-mannered little girl when you are with Nannie or at school. You are not bad at home, but you and Molly had been fighting a lot; y'all are playing together a lot better lately and it makes my heart smile. I hear sisters have a special bond, and I hope that with you and Molly being so close in age that the bond y'all have and are strengthening every day stays solid.
You are a very smart little girl. You pick up on many things! When we ask you about events and school stuff you don't really answer, but you will eventually tell us on your terms. You love, love, love school! This makes my heart happy as well! I hope your daddy and I have passed on our love of learning to you!
You are VERY inquisitive lately! It can be a little taunting and aggravating, but I know it is part of your learning process. You have asked me the meaning of many words lately - opportunity, enjoy, and what it means when I "took the day off!"
You are wanting to help me and Daddy cook a lot lately. You have a helping heart and love to help fold clothes and put them up. You will help me clean up if I am in there helping you, and you have cleaned up your room a couple of times by yourself.
I am loving this age and this time with you, Mary Claire! I loved watching you watching the fireworks the other night. I loved how you wanted to make silly faces and take pictures the other night. I hope all these fun times are making sweet memories for you because I sure have some great ones!
I love you, Mary Claire, and am proud of the little girl you are becoming! Happy birthday!!
Love,
Momma
