Today, we celebrate our first born baby girl's fourth birthday. It's hard to believe that four years have passed since we first welcomed you into our world. From the day I found out I was pregnant, you changed the person I was. At that moment, my life became enveloped with dreams of making your little life amazing, and nothing less. Looking back on these first four years, I can see that so many of our dreams for you have already come true. The most important being your happiness and childhood development, which is right on track...if not clearly above the standard :) We couldn't be more grateful for all the moments of pure joy and love we have had the pleasure of sharing with you. Elise, you are our first born and will pave the way for our family in future generations. It is a big title to carry, but you little lady, are doing it well!
 
You are quite excited to be four, and have set big goals like learning to read and write sentences. You also wants to ride your bike with no training wheels, swim underwater, and "climb a mountain" (your words exactly heheh). We are so proud of the little lady you are becoming. You are incredibly smart and extremely driven to succeed. You continually finds new ways to challenge yourself, and refuse to give up on a task until you master it. One of your biggest joys is having mommy and daddy read to you before bed. You love books, and laugh and giggle uncontrollably through every fun story. You are so eager to learn to read, and already recognize and point out many words in your books.
 
As for your interests, right now you are the ultimate girly girl. You love princesses, dolls, and playing dress up. In fact, you have declared that you will only wear dresses or skirts (the fancier the better). You love to have your nails painted, wear lip gloss and flowers or bows in your hair, (which you intend to grow out to Rapunzel-like length). You can pull together a highly styled outfit in less than a couple minutes, and are great at coordinating and accessorizing. 
 
At four-years-old, you are full of childhood dreams and wonder. You tell me on a weekly basis the things you want to go see, do and achieve. As you grow remember these dreams and know that you can accomplish anything. Our goal as parents is to encourage you to pursue your dreams and help you reach your goals. We are your biggest supporters and dreaming those same big dreams right along with you. We love you so much, and are as proud as ever to be your parents. Happy 4th Birthday Elise!!
 
 
The playful birthday girl, all smiles and having fun
