Happy Birthday Jayci

Jayci,

As your 4th birthday comes to an end I sit thinking about all the wonderful things you bring to my life. You bring Joy, Love, Smiles, Purity, and so many other emotions I will never be able to describe. It is funny how many emotions I have had today. I am feeling so happy and blessed that God choose your daddy and me to be your parents. I am also feeling so sad that you are already 4-years-old. Which you have reminded us of several times today!

So what are you up to as you turn 4....

You love playing dress-up and palace. You make your daddy come and play with you as soon as he gets home every day. You enjoy turning on music or sometimes Daddy just sings to you and you guys dance. You like to help in anyway you can; as long as it is fun for you of course. You like to help do dishes and cook dinner. You are always doing or saying something to make your Daddy and I laugh. In fact the other day you told me your friends and teachers were very impressed that you could snap your fingers. You also told me it is impressive for you to be able to do that. Who knew you even knew the word impress?!? Oh one of my favorite thing that you are doing is trying to speak Spanish. I'm not sure that you get the concept that it is a complete different language but you like to say, "Gracious" and try to count to 10. You really do a good job! You are also learning you letters and the sounds that they make. You can write your name! Also I wrote the word "Mommy" the other day and your recognized what it said! I was so excited!!! We are working on teaching you how to read so maybe by your next birthday you will be reading!

Jayci I cannot believe you are growing up sooo fast. It feels like just yesterday I was a confused, scared, excited, new mommy to a precious baby girl. Now I am still all of those things it is just to a 4-year-old big Girl!

I love you, Jayci Leigh Bradley! I am so blessed to be your Mommy.

Love, Mommy
