4 years. Where Has the Time Gone?

Dear Sophia,

Today is your 4th birthday.  You chose a Tangled theme (Disney's Rapunzel).  Your dad and I have spent the last 3 days cleaning, preparing decorations, and planning for your family dinner party.  With every scrub of the counter or sweep of the broom, memories  are flooding back.  

How is it possible that 4 years have passed?  How is it possible that 4 years ago we were in the hospital awaiting your arrival?  Time flies.  And you've grown so much, Sweetie.  Your father and I are in amazement at the fun loving, beautiful, and sometimes challenging young lady you are turning into.  

You love to sing and dance.  And you are hilarious.  Even when you don't mean to be.  You make us smile in ways that we never knew.  You are kind and loving.   Watching you with your brother has been awesome.  You love that little guy as much as your father and I.  And that's a big love.  Something I never knew children were capable of.   And I can tell that you will always be there for your little brother. Forever.  
 
If anyone could have told us four years ago, just how much we would love you, they would have been wrong...no one could possibly know the depth of our love for you.  Our love for you is bigger than anything we can explain.  You are our sweet, amazing, silly Sophia.  And we wouldn't change a thing about you.  Not even your stubborn nature.  Which you get from your daddy, ok...maybe a little from me :).  You continue to amaze us and surprise us everyday.

Happy 4th Birthday, Princess.

Love Mommy & Daddy
