Four

You love ice cream with chocolate sauce, but not chocolate ice cream. (Unless its Dippin' Dots. Then you only eat chocolate. And a lot of it.)
You can run the cul-de-sac behind Pops and Honey K's house in 44 seconds and not be out of breath. (I know because you made me time you.)
You can write your ABC's.
You can count to 20. (Except for #16. You skip it every time.)
You know your address and how to spell your name.
You can name the Washington Monument, the Capitol and the White House because we used to drive by them every day.
You carry around a plastic worm from Papa's boat. His name is Paschal - like Repunzel's chameleon in the movie Tangled.
You love all. things. princess. ALL
You refuse to wear pants. Only dresses. The frillier, the better but that doesn't slow you down.

You have 2 speeds: ON and OFF. (And I have to force the OFF.)
You would rather be outside than in.
You would rather be moving than sitting still.
You love Yaya's scrambled eggs but only if Yaya makes them.
Your favorite color is pink.
Your favorite food is mac & cheese.
Your favorite book is a collection of The Berenstain Bears Aunt Brandy got you.
Your favorite sport is gymnastics. (You asked to quit ballet to do gymnastics every day of the week. You do gymnastics once a week.)
You negotiate everything. EVERY.THING. (bath time, bedtime, what you wear, how we style your hair, number of bites you have to take before you can be done...)
You must have Blankie and Aubie to sleep.
You have several imaginary kids. When I get on to you, you get on to them. Sometimes when I reprimand you for talking back, you explain that you'd never say "No" to me. You were talking to your kids.
You like to watch Jake and The Neverland Pirates, The Backyardigans and Little Bill.
You like building Lego castles.
You have every Barbie movie memorized.
You love to ride on the end of the shopping cart and hang off the end. As we pass people in the aisles, you sing "lookin' good!" and leave a trail of laughing people in our wake.
Your laugh makes people laugh.
Your smile makes people smile.

Being your mom makes me a better person.
