I can't believe I have a 4 year old - that's just a year away from 5 and going to kindergarten! Brooklyn was so excited for her birthday and asked me every day of January if it was her birthday yet.
We got Brooklyn a doll house and Disney barbies to go with it for her birthday. She LOVES it and has played with it non stop. I stayed up until 2 a.m. the night before putting it together. John was happy to help but I told him I didn't mind doing it - I love putting things together like this. I was so excited for her to see her present in the morning. She was the first one awake and immediately saw it. When I walked in to the living room she already had all her dolls and barbies set up inside and was squealing with excitement (made staying up late totally worth it). It's huge, but I love it too and we'll have it forever.
I'm a mean mom and scheduled her 4 year old well visit that morning. I didn't realize she was going to get shots (I thought they got them at 5). She was poked 4 times, twice in each arm and cried when they did it. She stopped crying pretty soon after and I let her pick a treat at the gas station. She wore her pink band-aids all day and told anyone that would listen that she had gotten shots.
That night we had pizza and cupcakes at the park by our house and invited Mike and Camille and some close friends. It was so easy and Brooklyn was happy with it. She picked Frozen cupcakes from Walmart and blue plates. Everyone was so generous and brought her gifts, which she was thrilled about.
Camille gave her a Target gift card. The next day I took her and let her pick something out. She picked out these goggles for swimming (I bought some for Jake too - he was sad the night before and didn't understand why Brooklyn got presents and he didn't). I text this picture to Camille of them.
One of her friends gave her these princess paper dolls which she's loved playing with.
I've asked her these same questions on every birthday. It's fun to see how her answers change:
How old are you? 4

She was nice and let Jake help her open her present.
