Carina Bean is 4!

Dear Carina Bean,

Wow, you are 4 years old today! I can't believe how time is flying by. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were waiting and waiting...and waiting for you to be born. It was definitely worth the wait! You amaze our whole family on a daily basis with your smarts, spunk, and humor. Your Daddy and I are so very proud of the wonderful little girl you are turning out to be.
You still love preschool and are continuing to thrive there. You have made many friends and have a great bond with your teachers. You also know all of your letters, sounds, and you can write your name. You love to read, and are currently obsessed with The Berenstein Bears books. We love your school too and will be sad when you leave next year. (But we won't talk about that yet because I can not think about you going to kindergarten right now!)
You are THE BEST big sister to Braden. You help us take care of him, and you are his favorite source of entertainment. You can get the biggest laughs out him! We bring him in to your room every morning to wake you up, and you love it. Sometimes he's the only one that can get you out of bed! I hope you both continue to best buddies.

You started taking ballet classes this summer and you love it! I was so proud of how you just walked right into the class all by yourself (no Mommies allowed!) and listened to your teacher. Little Miss independent! You can do anything you set your mind to-like learning to swim! One day at Grandma & Grandpa's house you just started doing it all by yourself! No more floaties for you-you are just plain fearless sometimes.

You have certainly brightened our lives in the past 4 years. You make us smile & laugh every day. We are so lucky to have you as our daughter. Mommy, Daddy and Braden love you to the moon and back!
Love,
Mommy
