Izzie's 4th

Happy 4th birthday to Izzie! Izzie, you are (still) one funny kid, though you don't like people saying that. Funny as you are, you take yourself very seriously (which only makes you all the funnier...sorry kiddo!) You are almost never in a bad mood, unless you are super tired, at which point you are completely inconsolable and irrational. Besides that, you are an absolute delight, and a blessing to our whole family. You make us all smile from the moment you wake up until the moment we tuck your sweet self into bed for the night. You wake up with exuberance that even I, a morning person, cannot fully comprehend. As I'm drinking my morning coffee, I hear your bedroom door burst open and your heavy footsteps walk running down the hall, where you make a beeline for me to snuggle and tell me every dream you had and what you plan to wear and all the things on your agenda for the new day. You bring me life at 7 am! You talk more than any human I've ever known, and you also sing and dance your way through the days. I love that you will walk up to a complete stranger and sing them a song made up just for them! Your nickname is "Tank" because you are tougher than nails, often bowling over and through things, taking more than your fair share of tumbles (though rarely crying), and just basically plowing your way through toddler hood like a tank. Though you are so tough it blows our mind sometimes, you also have an affinity for pink and purple and glitter and pretty things and you are oh so girly! It's a fun combination.  Favorite Colors: Sparkly blue, pink and purple Favorite food: PBJ, grilled cheese Favorite Dessert: pudding, ice cream, popsicles, pie and cake Favorite thing to play: blocks What do you want to be when you grow up: Doctor or be in a parade Favorite things to learn about: butterflies Favorite thing to do outside: tire swing, climb ropes and jump on trampoline Favorite Bible story: Noah's Ark Favorite book: Llama Llama books Favorite TV show: Little Einsteins  Favorite movie: Mary Poppins Place to visit: friend's houses to play Best Friend: my friends in Helena
