Mom, how old are I?

Today you are 3, but this year you have been 4, 14 and whatever number comes out of your mouth! For some reason you can't remember how old you are going to be or how old you really are. This is a trait you got from me! Here's to another great year with Julia...it's hard to believe how tiny you were just 4 years ago.

In 2014 you...

ate the bait instead of using it to catch fish

took 2-4 hour naps in the afternoon and instead of giving your mi-mi to the baby you kept it for yourself

requested to get a picture with the panther instead of running away shy

went on great adventures to new cities and enjoyed your horse and carriage rides

got to go to our public pool

rode on your first horse

requested to wear jeans on a regular basis

took your first selfie

applied tattoos all by yourself

saw your first live musical, "The Sound of Music" and wondered where the actors went after each act

got a big girl bed

went up on Mt.Washington for the first time

went to your first Pirates and Penguins game...I think

saw the Rocky Mountains "I see Mountains!"

Loved to wear twirly dresses in the summer and occasionally wore cute sandals to go with

Had friends over but didn't really play with them unless your brother was involved

Made lots of faces that made us smile

went to your first concert and airshow

took Dramamine on 30+ minute car ride because "your belly was sick"...but you could jump on the "bouncy thing"?

requested trips to the zoo when visiting St. Louis

and were always up for a carousel ride

wanted to be Buddy Holly for Halloween, but after seeing your cousin perform in the play, Pinochio and reading a book, you requested to be The Blue Fairy

went trick or treating in Iowa before the cold swept in and headed to Florida for Halloween...got candy at the stores and gas stations along the way without even dressing up!
