Izzy is 4!

Happy Birthday beautiful girl! I can't believe you are 4 years old! You such a special girl I want to capture some of what you are like at 4 yrs old.

You are so happy as you have continued to be throughout your life. You have this ability to share your happiness with everyone around you and everyone that knows you falls in love! I have watched even people who i would not classify as much of kid people, totally become taken by you. You certainly have a way with people. (once you warm of from being shy if you don't know someone)

You LOVE music and dancing. You always request your songs in the car and in addition to some Disney favorites like Mulan and Lion King music, you have started to like some more popular music as long as it is up beat. You like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Sugarland and sing along to the one you know. One of your favorite things to do is have a dance party and get in your favorite dress up clothes and dance and jump around.

You have really blossomed with your coloring ability lately and you are much better at coloring in the lines than you were even a few weeks ago. You can't write your name quite yet but you can write your I's very well and you are good at tracing your name if we write the dots out. I am sure before long you will be writing out your name..at least Izzy which is much easier than Isabelle

You crack me up with some of the things you say. You already have the ability to "yes mom" me when I tell you to please do something. If I ask you to do something and you are too busy you will tell me "in a minute okay"

You have an incredible memory especially for geography. You can go past a place in the car once and remember it the next time you go by.I swear you are better at geography than me!

You have turned into quite the girly girl and i am not sure how seeing that I am not exactly much of a girly girl. You are OBSESSED with makeup, and must have over 50 tubes of lipgloss. If you see me putting on eye shadow you insist that you have some too. You often times won't leave the house to go out with out packing up a purse filled with various lipgloss. I think you like to smell it more than apply it although you do wear it quite often. You have told me many times that "I like pretty things, mommy do you like pretty things?". Purple is by far your favorite color and I can always tell at school which project is yoru because it is always either done in purple or has many purple accents.

Although you are mostly girl, you do like to do some activites with your daddy. You love to help daddy fix anything, and he will set you up in his shop in the basement with a piece of wood with some screw started and you will use the screw driver to screw them the rest of the way. Your other favorite activity you ask Daddy to do is wrestle. She showed you how to get on all 4's under him and he will wrestle you...you love this game!

We are so proud of the girl you are becoming. Do us a favor though slow down! Love you Izzy!!!
