sawyer turns 4.

oh sawyer.

the class clown. the crazy kid. the most stubborn. the one who doesn't listen and tells me "youre ruining my life!!" when i ask her to get something from her room or put down the broom in the kitchen. the kid who is unaffected by time outs. whose room is never clean more than 24 hours.

the girl who hasnt worn PJs to bed in over a year bc its not a dress. who wears tulle 95% of the time. who hasnt worn pants in that same year (leggings under dresses are only sometimes okay). and who puts all dresses and skirts to a "spin test" before wearing.

who needs a few more cuddles when she is upset. sawyer's the one who responds best to sweet talk.

i love you.

you are so different than your sisters. and thats my favorite part about you.

she thinks she is a princess and changes her name to suit. chloe, annaliese, etc... and carries a wand regularly.

happy 4th birthday! :) i can't believe how fast time has flown.

here are the party pics, wake up (from nap) pics, and morning video. sweet girl.

you can see her tent contraption on her bed lol clamps and a huge blanket. i cant find a tent that fits that!



i woke her up from nap that day to get some "im four today!!" pics.
