April is 4

A Best Friend. Coloring queen. Cereal eating machine. Manicure obsessed. Picky eater. Loves Pink. Yoga Buddy. Gluten Free. Sensitive to others feelings. Toe walker. Animal lover. Loves all things in the sky air planes/sun/moon/stars/sunsets/rainbows. Mommas girl. 

1460 days in a crib and counting (I've never had a kid last this long in a crib)

 

Meet my best friend. We do yoga in the park together. She goes shopping with me and compliments me on everything I try on. She tells me multiple times a day “Mommy. You my best friend” (except when she’s mad at me then she says “I guess I not you best friend anymore!”... but minutes later she will come to me apologetically saying “I sorry. I you best friend.”)

April can sense and interpret others feelings. She somehow always KNOWS when I need a hug. She has incredible empathy. Even watching movies she’s is good at interpreting the mood and will oooo and aww at appropriate moments in the show and displays sadness during somber scenes. Likewise during scary or intense parts of movies/cartoons she will run to the corner of the room and lay down to hide her face until the “bad guy” goes away. 

She is a CHAMPION sleeper. Goes to bed easily (sometimes even asking to go to bed). Her only requests are a song or two and then she’s out for the night. In the mornings she wakes up crawls out of the crib (yes she’s still in a crib. I don’t know what to do. I’ve never had a kid in a crib this long. She loves it and sleeps great so... why mess with perfection?!?) usually around 6:30am she comes and climbs in bed with Ron and I to snuggle for a few minutes.
