At four years old Caroline is more entertaining and fun than ever. I feel like I have a little adult living with me, as she is very independent and wants to be a big girl so much!
Caroline loves to color, draw, cut, paste and anything involving crafts.
She can somewhat write her name, with lots of guidance and patience from an adult.
She is great with directions, she knows all the roads around us and where she is headed most of the time.
She still loves playing outside and is thoroughly enjoying her new play set.
Caroline is a great big sister, carries Carter around when we aren't looking, and takes care of her babies just like I take care of Carter.
Right now we are battling night time fears. She will not stay in her room all night, and most nights runs down the stairs wailing. She makes a nap mat right by our bed and that is where she sleeps the remainder of the night.
She loves wearing skirts, dresses, and me fixing her hair like a princess. (I tell her, no matter how I do her hair, that it is like a princess. My little trick!)
Caroline is swimming like a fish. She can swim all over the pool and jump in and swim to the side.
She loves everyone around her so much, she has a huge heart. She talks about all the people in her life and will often say, "I sure love ____."
Unfortunately she uses the phrases I use with her, such as "You need to do this right now," and "I've already told you once, " etc. with Justin and me and doesn't seem to understand that we are the boss and can say that, but not her.
She also says, "Just kidding," as well as, "I know that," quite often. It seems her new four year old self knows everything!
Four years has brought the girl drama. She whines and gets hysterical over really small things. I think it's an attention thing.
She loves Six Flags and Hawaiian Falls. She even rides the medium sized roller coasters at Six Flags, but she is not too happy with the Judge Roy Scream because she swears it gave her a cough.
Caroline has been asking about where God lives lately. She wants to know if Heaven is far away like Houston where her Aunt Annie lives.
She still eats well; loves chocolate milk, candy, gum, tortillas with cheese, mac and cheese, fruit snacks, and cheese. I have to hide candy around the house, she gets that sweet tooth from Justin. Her favorite places to eat are Chipotle and On the Border, the "tortilla store."
I probably have more that I'm forgetting, but I'll record those later. We go for her 4 yr old check up next week as well as her first official teeth cleaning.
Love her so much! What a gift she is!
