Today marks Mary Alice's fourth birthday. And (unsuccessfully trying to not be too sappy) - what a wonderful four years they have been. Mary Alice is a bright and inquisitive girl with a strong sense of justice and equally strong opinions. When she was an infant, she possessed the sweetest, happiest, most contented disposition. Over the years, she has morphed into an equally charming little girl, but with quite a bit more spit and fire than we anticipated during her baby years. And we love it.
At age four, Mary Alice still loves animals more than anything in the world. Her favorites right now are cats and her pink toy frog. When not playing with her kitty, she loves to do whatever Thomas is doing. Even after four years, he is still her favorite person in the world - except for Spiderman, that is.
There is nothing Mary Alice likes more than being the "helper". She will do chores all day long, as long as she is doing them with you. She has a good eye for finding ways to help people and a truly compassionate heart. She has really started to talk a lot (I mean A LOT) this last year. She will chat about everything she sees and has the most extraordinary (and imaginative) ideas about what she observes. I can't wait to see what this year brings for her. Happy #4, kiddo!
