She is Four now

She is four and so full of energy.
So bursting full of it that I did actually buy a trampoline for her and put it in the room next to living/kitchen. We also had a kid trampoline party in a trampoline place.
She can almost write her name (and I am so proud of the creativity with which she makes mistakes with letters)
She can almost ride a bike, but fear of falling is stopping her.
She cannot colour within  the lines, but she can dress herself, even pick her own clothes and shoes.
She knows our normal routes through the city and tells me if I am going the 'wrong way'
She can say the days of the weeks but time is still such a difficult concept. ( in the evening she will ask me if she goes to school today." No, tomorrow " I answer. So today after we wake up?
um, yeah, by that time tomorrow has become today.)
She needs glasses if we are to believe her eye test. We will take her to the eye doctor to have it checked.
I went to 4 supermarkets to make sure I would have a Frozen themed chocolate cake for her birthday party. I did ask if DP wanted to give Suzy a birthday gift. He said no. I love buying gifts for her. And I made myself realise that everyone expresses love in their own way. Buying gifts is not the only way.
But every so often I am pleased for knowing Suzy well enough for getting a good gift that she loves.

I do regularly tell her the story of the doctor receiving an egg of a nice lady, adding a seed from DP to make an embryo to put in my tummy. and that grew into baby Suzy who then came out of my tummy.
She knows the story and likes to hear it, but it doesn't mean much yet to her. only when I get to the baby in tummy stage she kind of understands. And she likes to hear how sad i was when there was no baby. I guess she understands crying, and babies. the rest, o well, part of the story.
