I cannot believe our baby girl is 4. Where did the time go? She has gotten so big. It makes me so sad and proud and all kinds of emotions at once. She is going to start all day pre-K this fall. I can't believe I am old enough to have a child in school. I guess this day had to come eventually right? She is the cutest sweetest girl ever. She is so nice and thoughtful. She is very social and smart. She is going to love school! She loves her little brother and Jesus. She is always nice to Jack even if he is bothering her or hitting her or taking something away. She never hits him or takes things from him. She is so patient with him. She is a great example for her little brother. She is so smart it amazes me. She knows stuff I had no idea she would know. Like she knows all her numbers now and can do some simple visual math. So our tolit upstairs broke somehow, I don't know what happened but I think it involved Jack flushing something random down it. But it is fixed now. Anywho, I was talking to Caroline about it cause this was her tolit and she was having a hard time dealing with the fact she would have to use another tolit. So I just said "Caroline we have three tolits here to choose from this shouldn't be a problem." And then she said "no mommy we had three tolits and then one broke, now how many do we have?" I was like you are right Caroline. I was so shocked she would even think of it that way. Usually when we do math it is very visual and you have to use fingers or pictures or objects. She does very well I actually think now she is doing better with numbers than letters. She does know all her letters and sounds and can tell you what words start with and is trying to write...some letters look better than others, but most are unrecognizable to the naked eye. She is such a sweet girl she is always thinking of others. Now if she doesn't want something she says we should donate this to the library if its a book or where ever else. The other night at family home evening we were talking about prayer and all the different things you want to say in a prayer. So at the end we ask her what she is going to pray for now. We are expecting her to say a friend, some toy or food or something like that. But she says, "for mommy to have more babies." I was so shocked I wanted to cry. I never thought she thought about that much. It's not like we are trying and aren't able to or anything like that. She just really wants more siblings I guess. I actually think she may know something we don't. She is such a good girl and loves church and she knows so much about scripture stories and about Joseph Smith. She has parts of the first vision memorized. Don't ask me how. It must be from a song or something in primary. But it is so touching to hear here tell gospel stories. Ok so I better end this post, it is making me cry. Anyway I love you Caroline. Happy Birthday!
The day Caroline was born. Look at those cheeks!
