{wasn't it just yesterday}


wasn't it just yesterday that i laid you in the bassinet by my bed and woke up a million times an hour just to make sure you were breathing?

wasn't it just yesterday that we heard that belly laugh for the first time?

wasn't it just yesterday that you were in your high chair learning to use a spoon?

wasn't it just yesterday that you learned to crawl....backwards?

wasn't it just yesterday that you took your first steps using mommies balance ball wearing the cutest pink foot-jammies?

wasn't it just yesterday that you said *mama* for the first time? now you use words like *actually* and *realize* in proper context.

wasn't it just yesterday that i guided you up and down the kiddie slide? now you go up and down the big-kid slide no sweat.

wasn't it just yesterday that you learned to hold a crayon? now you draw vivid pictures that grace our refrigerator every day.

wasn't it just yesterday that you were drinking from a bottle? now you request a big-kid cup with no lid.

wasn't it just yesterday that you were asking for gum? and i was saying *you can have gum when you are four* because that seemed so far away.

wasn't it just yesterday that your curls barely reached your shoulders? now we are talking about your first *big girl* hair cut.

wasn't it just yesterday???


and today...today you are FOUR.

a wonderful, beautiful, wouldn't trade this moment for the world FOUR.
{happy happy birthday sweet girl}
