Morgan is 4!

Morgan is 4! It's hard to believe she is already four. I am really glad she is so tiny for her age because it makes it feel like I can treat her like my baby for longer. At age 4 Morgan is exactly 36" tall and I think around 28? lbs. She is a few inches smaller than Kamryn was, who was by far smaller than the rest of the kids. If this holds true I don't think she will crack 5 feet tall as an adult, but we shall see.

 Morgan got walkie talkies, a dog purse, and some new clothes for her birthday.

Morgan is really easy going for the most part. She makes for an easy side kick throughout my days. Her biggest struggles are with certain clothing (jeans, socks that she doesn't like, jackets), putting on eczema cream, getting her hair done, and wearing her seatbelt tight enough. She is particular about which color plate/bowl she uses (pink), and what type of spoon she can eat with. She will ask for milk in her cereal every morning and then never eat it. And then as soon as we get to work as for a snack. Wes bribes her to go eat at their special place at least a couple times a week. She rarely will go, but still won't tell anyone where their special place is (Sandra's place).

She wanted pumpkin cake so I made pumpkin cake. And then she told me she wanted it to look like a pumpkin, and wasn't very satisfied with my attempt, so Dad to the rescue.

 

Morgan is probably everyone's favorite around here. She says funny things each day and talks in the cutest little voice and so animatedly. She likes helping the kids feed the animals, loves holding our cat Charlie, and loves following me around all day (except at work where she watches cartoons all day). She shares a room with Addi and Kamryn. She was sad when she turned 4 because that meant she couldn't go to PMO with her friends any more. She only wants me to tuck her in, and it has to be done a certain way. Traveling is so much easier without a little baby...she will sleep where the other kids do, whether that's in a bed, on the floor, in a crib, she is easy to go to sleep. Morgan loves granola bars, goldfish, string cheese, and fruit snacks.

Hallie made this piece of pottery in art class for Morgan's birthday (this is the lid) and it promptly got broken a few minutes later.
