Happy Fantastic Four!
Dear Bryanna, I kissed you good night letting you know this would be our last 3-year old kiss. My heart sank a little. I asked you if maybe tomorrow you could still be 3. You said to me, "Oh no, I really can't". Some things have changed. Like you went from 2T to 3T and now 4T, all within the past year. You went from size 7 shoes to size 9. You went from 25 lbs to 29 lbs. Yes, physically, you have definitely grown. Some things remain the same. You greet everyone at the door with the biggest smile and most enthusiasm I have ever seen. Your laugh is still as infectious as ever. And you hug, as if every hug would be the last. Your stutter came and went throughout the year. It'd be more prominent when you went through a developmental leap, and less once you mastered something. You have learned this year to say "I don't like you...right now" and asking for space. You are fearless most days, and some days you are afraid of the dark and being alone.
