Four years old seems little and big all at the same time.
You are so smart.  You love learning.  You currently love to count and add and discuss which numbers are more, less, older, younger, etc.  You also love throwing addition problems at me and talking about what sounds letters make.  You crack me up when you get tired of me "teaching" and act silly and playfully insist that R makes a sssssss sound.  Then you crack up!
You still keep your Mousey friend around and he is a pretty regular fixture in our lives and even the lives of your friends.  You are very convincing!  :)
You love fiercely.  You express your loves so honestly and often that it makes my heart literally swell in my chest.
You also use the words literally and seriously mom!?, daily.  I always flash forward 10 years when you say something like that.  Always.
You love your little sister more each day.  I see it.  I see your heart for her growing more every. single. day.  You two act silly, you help me with her so much and you love love LOVE when she loves on you back.  I love hearing you say to her "I love you Tessa, you're the best baby sister ever."  Then to see her lean into you for a hug and you squeeze her tight.  Oh Golly!  I can hardly handle the sweetness!!!!!  :)
You like school, you love your family, you like love painting, gluing, coloring, and any art material you can get your hands on.
You are responsible.
You love fruit and carrots and broccoli!
and candy.
You are loving playing with your Disney Princess Barbie Dolls.
Laying in bed with you and singing songs to you while you fall asleep is my favorite part of the day.  
You make me proud every single day.

Dear Sweet Audrey,
I love you so very much.  Always have. Always will.
XOXO, Mommy
