Haddie: 4 year update

Dear Haddie,
At four years old...

• You are in the 60th percentile for height and 50th for weight (37 pounds). People still mistake you and Titus for twins all the time.
• You are incredibly social! You are always hoping someone will be coming over to play.
• You are also sneaky, you will try to hide and get away with what you can.
• Your favorite foods are peanut butter sandwiches, bananas, yogurt, toast, cheese, chicken and french fries, and any type of cracker/chip. You are a very picky eater and it's hard to get you to eat!
• You imitate everything I do with Baby Collins ("it's okay Baby Love, we're almost home!" "I know Lovie, we're almost there.")
• Your favorite activities are playing tea party, anything with Titus, and pretending to be a mommy to your babies.
• Your favorite shows are Tangled (Rapunzel), Curious George, Sing, and Boss Baby.
• You have gotten so much better with Collins! You have finally figured out how to play with her without squishing her (most of the time). You help me by putting her paci in or entertaining her while I shower.
• You made up a song called "I love Everything" that you sing every night before bed (you basically just sing "I love" followed by whatever pops into your head :)
• You ask me to give you "Anna Hair" like in Frozen, but it's still not long enough for much besides pigtails.
• You LOVE bath time. Sometimes you'll take two baths a day just because you want to play in the bath.
• You are really perceptive of people's emotions and know how to make them laugh or feel better.
• You make friends wherever you go and are very inclusive when playing.
• You cry really easily when things aren't going your way, it's almost like a magic trick how quickly you can make tears appear and disappear ;)
• You don't really like any sports or have an interest in learning to ride your bike. You do, however, love taking gymnastics!
• You go to the library with Aunt Ashley every Monday and it's one of your favorite weekly activities
• You generally have a very positive attitude, thinking that almost anything could be fun. For instance, Titus is over going to the gym and playing in the play place but you always like to go because there are other kids there to play with.
• You don't really like to color or do crafts, but you do love to play with anything you can manipulate with your hands (play-doh, sand, etc.)
• You still have the sweetest, highest little voice and an adorable closed mouth smile and model stance when I take your picture

When Grandma talks about what I was like as a little girl it sounds a whole lot like how you are now! You are generally pretty laid back, can easily get into things you shouldn't, and are an overall happy child who enjoys most things. Christmas and birthdays are so much fun with you because every single little things brings you joy. My favorite thing about you right now is how polite you are and how you have learned what to say to make people feel good. For instance, you automatically say "thank you, Mommy!" for things I wasn't even thinking you thank me for. Or out of nowhere you will pay me a genuine compliment about something I'm wearing like you're a grownup! We love you so much, Haddie Mae!
