DUH! Biz is 4!!

And then I blinked...and she was 4.  This crazy girl of mine is no longer a baby, or a toddler, we now have a full fledged "bizzy" little girl in the house!  Yesterday my little princess turned 4 and it was a day filled with all things "Frozen", cookie cake, barbie dolls and everything a big 4 year old could want!

Elisabeth, Biz, my Bixa - B....you are such an amazing little girl.  Every year I say it but I just can't even believe how quickly you have grown from being a little snuggler in my arms to so much your own little person - you are such a neat kiddo that it is such a gift to be able to watch you navigate this world, on your own terms, taking it fully by the horns and going full tilt at everything you do.  You go girl!

So, let's talk about the Bizzle...


Size - 38 pounds.  You still have the best appetite on the planet - you love slurpy noddles (pasta), cheese, pizza, broccoli, bad popcorn (popcorn popped with oil) and chips.  You eat all the things and aren't picky.  Such a growing, big girl!

Likes: You still adore the color pink.  Anything Elsa from frozen.  You love playing with slime, kinetic sand, and drawing.  You ADORE dance parties, and really have a thing for Billie Eilish's " Bad Guy" (DUH!)  (way to go mom).  You also love riding your bike, and....hold the phone....your first boyfriend, Jackson (Watch out, Dad!)

Dislikes: Carrots.  Going to bed.  Being told No.  Peanut butter (you little weirdo).  You don;t have many, but are very adamant about when something doesn't suit you.  You'll be a great cop one day (your new career ambition). 

Sleep: You're pretty good at this, but when you wake up in the middle of the night, you need snuggles!  Thank goodness Mom and Dad finally bought a king sized bed, though you still tend to sprawl out like a drunken octopus looking for his car keys.  (Man that was a good one.  Wish I could take credit).

Eating: See above.  You love food so much!  I swear you eat more than I do sometimes - its really neat to watch.  Your favorites are goldfishies, pizza, broccoli, chips and french fries.
Milestones/Firsts:
UPK/Pre K - You started full day Pre K this year!  Such a big girl!
Counting to 50 - You are such a smart kiddo.  Big bro helps out here!
Boyfriend - Yep, we met the boy next door (or about a half mile down the road).  Dad wants to have a talk with him....
Running!  You love running and can't wait to do your first mile run next month!

Best Moment: Oh baby girl, watching you bust out with all of your little "Biz"isms is just epic.  I love our dance parties to "Bad Guy" and "Sweet but Psycho" with cooking spoons as mics.  Doing Mommy Biz yoga (you are good!), playing with girlfriends (dolls) and our nighttime snuggle fests and Mommy singing your bedtime song "So In Love" (Tenerife Sea by Ed Sheeran).  Cooking and Baking together - Sunday pancakes are your fave. Really, it's the everyday wonder I see as you explore, sweetie.  I am so damned lucky to be your mommy and to see you experience the world full on!

Looking Forward to:  You start ballet next week and are so amped!  I can't wait to see my tiny dancer.  And to go to school open houses.  And to see all the wonderful creations you make. Every year gets so much more fun - Christmas, snow play, our first family vacation coming up this winter, and every little moment in between!  Thank you for making my world so much better every day just by being in it!  I love you!!
