Hannah is 4!!!!

I can't believe our sweet Hannah is 4 years old. Her imagination is in full force! I often hear her acting out scenes of Frozen with imaginary people being the other characters. She loves to perform and was so thrilled to be on stage at her ballet recital. She often puts on shows for us: singing, dancing, playing an instrument, or all three! Hannah is independent, confident, and capable most of the time. She is learning her limitations, but willing to try things herself. She is fearless when it comes to new situations and meeting new people. She is always looking for new friends to play with anywhere we go.  While not an animal lover, Hannah does love people with passion! I love seeing her heart for her friends, her family, and people we don't see very often. She asks how people are, expresses sadness when it's been awhile, and pure joy when we have play dates.  She also loves going places. Every night, she asks, "where are we going tomorrow?". And every morning, she asks "where are we going today?". She is also really trying to master time. She wants to know her bedtime and has declared that her bedtime is "eight zero zero". She asks about the days of the weeks and always wants to know how many nights daddy will be gone or how many nights guests are staying. Hannah is an awesome big sister who loves to play with Ethan and is a big helper to me helping him get shoes on or be buckled into the car.  She loves Charlie and does lots of silly things to make him smile.  Hannah is very into her clothes and changes several times a day. I'm never quite sure what she will have on when she comes down the stairs. She can be Elsa one minute, Cinderella the next, then in exercise clothes, then dressed to the nines in a dress as if going to a wedding! She also loves shoes and loves matching. She wants to match, me, or Ethan, or just herself making sure her pink shirt goes with pink shorts.  She loves having long hair and wants it down most of the time.  Though tolerates it when I tell her she needs to have it back for a specific purpose.  She is getting so much braver at the playground, and her ability to climb mazes and scares me!  She has also gotten awesome at her bike!  She has proved to be a tough little cookie also, if she falls, she gets right back up and tries again.  She is stubborn and silly and kind and heartwarming. Her little ideas and that shy smile that comes out if she catches you watching her just make me marvel at this tiny person she is. Hannah is our beautiful, dramatic, loving little girl. We are so thankful for her and so proud of the little lady she is becoming. Hannah is also growing! She wears size 6 clothes, size 12 (little kid) shoes and is in the 95% for height and weight.
