FOUR YEAR OLD DELTA MAE

Tuesday, June 28, 2016

Delta Mae (aka Chicken),

You're four! You are the absolute, most incredible Little Lady. We tell you how beautiful you are all of the time and I guess that's why you will often refer to yourself as the "most beautiful girl" in the room, picture, world, etc. Of course, we agree, but, shhh... you don't have to tell everyone. You toot + claim it more than a lady should. You've said things that have made us laugh 'til we cried.

"This is peace ONLY if you keep your mouth closed."
"Da doughnut word is in my head all day."
"I can't finish my sammach because my hands are tired."

For me, you are making life a lot easier. It doesn't take an hour to get you to finish your meal. You don't have night time accidents. You ask to go to bed, often before bedtime. Speaking of bedtime, your routine hasn't changed. It still includes reading a book followed by singing Jesus Loves Me together. You sleep without a night light, but with your door open.

You love...

your Brother.
the color pink.
to kiss your Daddy on the head when he leaves for work.
to run to the door when your Daddy comes home.
when people call you Delta Mae, not Delta.
Daddy + Mama (in that order).
to paint.
participating on the sidelines as your brother takes Taekwondo lessons. (Your first lesson will be tomorrow!)
to kiss my cheek + hug my neck before I leave your room for the night.

You like to...

dance.
dress-up.
play pretend like you don't know me when I walk by. (Usually, you're a princess from Hawaii.)

You like to eat...

cupcakes + ice cream.
mac + cheese.
tomatoes.

You enjoy watching...

Power Rangers (all of them).
Strawberry Shortcake.
Dragons.
My Little Pony.
Kate + Mim Mim.

We couldn't be happier to call you ours, My Dear. It's been a blessing to see you grow into the vibrant, spirited, marvelous Child of God that you are. Happy Birthday to you, Delta Mae!

Love,

Mom
