Still twirls hair and sucks tongue (her habit since babyhood!)
Loves to cover stuffies w Kleenex like a blanket
Password-pink and purple
“I miss annie!” “Me too!” When Annie was out of town with the grandmas)
She remembered our other vehicle when we were halfway home that we needed to pick up. Everyone else had forgotten-So responsible!
While watching frozen at the theater she cuddled the whole time and kept saying over and over-I love you very much!
How did he get out of the she shed? (Referring to the she she’d commercial)
Santa-what do you want for xmas? Ruby-A dog. Santa-What kind? Ruby’s-A girl one.
“Guys, I’m about to cry for real.”
So excited for hand sanitizer, body glitter, and her own pack of gum!
What if I goed into God’s heart?
Calls the sidewalk the “Hard walk”
Mom, you have to work on this! (Putting shoes out of reach of puppy Goldie)
Shirtless naps
Flashing light for flashlight
Feb-mommy, when Am I going to be a mommy? I explained when she grows up and god gives her a husband that loves her and that she loves very much, then god might give you children then. She asked-will it be daddy?
Was god still making me? ( when we talk about thing that happened before she was born)
Sits at table long after we’re done w dinner (eating is not her priority)
Gum at 6am on way to Disney, shorts in bag! (Obsessed with making sure we had those things)
A tupprise for you! ( her word for surprise)
Loved all Disney rides-not scared at all
Raise your hand if you...
Cheers! Jinks!
I’m secreting in your ear!

Spring getting ready all by herself-even shirt! And brushing hair. Shoes, socks. She’s so proud
May 1 stayed w grandpa and Peggy. Found Jeff (her turtle). Painted w grandpa. Started fully buckling herself in! Game changer for me!
We’re going to the beach-the orange one!!
Beach-slept TIL 9:15! So tired when crabbing (she and I went up early bc she kept commenting about how tired she was!)
Eat your cereal-“but my feet hurt! My legs hurt!” ( excuses to distract from the task at hand)
5/31 big swimmer day! Big waterfall hike! She’s a trooper!
In June-saddened about brown baby (Goldie chewed her arm off-she did get a replacement for her birthday, though!!)
called Dr Pepper dr coke
Starting to draw a lot! Making people
June 12-officially unbuckling herself!!
Such a swimmer-flips, Hans stands, jumping off edge
Thumbs down when not ready for bite, thumbs up when ready. No big bites.
“Mom! It’s sun setting!!”
Hear her from the tub-“call me Alabama!” (A commercial that runs over and over)
Light saver for light saber

Ruby is 4!
Looking back over all these posts-somehow I skipped this one?! Then I calculated the date-it was 2020 so all bets were off-who knows what was going on! Luckily I keep notes! See below for how we celebrated our sweet 4 year old! It looks like we did a pretty thorough job!
 |
| 4th of July weekend family came, and we celebrated the birthday cousins! |
 |
| Grandpa and Peggy gave a baking set and a frozen fishing pole! |
Look at that adorable baby face! Melt my heart!
She’s gotten a lot of use out of that pole!
 |
| The 4 year old and the 18 year old! |
 |
| Gifts from family |
 |
| Katarina kitty cat and a Daniel tiger lunchbox from cousins! |
 |
| Strawberry cake for the win! |
 |
| The next morning we had these special made donuts! |
Happy b-day CJ & Ruby.
 |
| Back to family celebration-kids are always thrilled with their $20 from grandma Dewitt! |
 |
| Hamburgers and watermelon for lunch! |
 |
| Ruby’s actual birthday on Thursday the 9th - her request was the splash pad! |
 |
| Cards from the Rollins |
 |
| Henry gave her a light saber and Annie gave frozen soap and a pink loofah. |
 |
| We cave Daniel tiger figurines and |
 |
| A new Doll stroller |
 |
| And a “brown skinned baby” as the kids lovingly called it. |
 |
| These sweeties love to celebrate each other! |
 |
| We went to dinner afterwards at the “big field restaurant” for pizza and ice. |
We had a fun swim celebration that Saturday with friends!
Four!
Proud of her cake!
New art caddy from the Zorios-perfect for this art loving girt!
The kids were proud to help make this sign for her!
She requested the Ruby piece of course!
