Today the Girl turned 4. She celebrated with family, friends, cake and homemade ice cream, gifts and a pinata. Four. How can it be?! How can it be, when I can remember as clearly as if it were yesterday, the wee hours of the morning, 12:36 to be exact, when she arrived in our lives four years ago. A sweet little thing weighing 6 pounds 13.9 ounces with dark blue eyes and a head full of dark crazy hair. How her Daddy upon seeing her enter into the world exclaimed, "She's damn cute!" with tears in his eyes. In those four short years she has transformed from a tiny being, dependant upon us for her every need into a fiercely spirited little Girl, who at times, pushes the limit of her independence and is full of sass. While opening her gifts she obstinately told her friends, who were trying to help in the unwrapping process as 4-year olds are prone to do, "It's my birthday, get your own birthday."
