.:Remi - Four Years Old:.

Remi turned four a couple of weeks ago, and I am a little bit in denial! How can she be four? But she definitely looks it, and is for sure starting to act like it, too. Remi has really been doing some growing up lately. Totally bittersweet.

Remi has always been a bit stubborn. She does what she wants, when she wants and there's often not much you can do about it. (Like how it's taken over a year of potty training and we're still not all the way there yet!) But I do love that she is confident in herself, and confident in what she likes. I think it's great that she can't be easily swayed (most of the time, unless I need her to sway!) Sometimes I worry that she might feel left out or something like that, but she really is just so fine with her decisions and what she is comfortable with and that is awesome.

Rem is seriously girly. She loves skirts, dresses, princesses, and pink. Frozen has been a huge hit at our house, and she adores Elsa and Anna. She loves dolls, Barbies, or anything of the likes and she is often found in tow with at least three buddies, but usually more. When I check on her before I go to bed at nite, I'm often surprised by how many more things she has added to her collection in bed with her. She loves to sing and dance, and she actually has a pretty impressive vibrato! 

Remi has really started growing up lately. I was shocked in the difference between last year's doctor's appointment and this year's. Last year, it was pulling teeth to get her to do anything the MA or doctor wanted her to do. Remi isn't one for interacting a ton with strangers in general, and that totally confirmed it. But this year she was more than happy to have her weight and height taken, do the eye test, and let the doctor check her out. I was shocked! She also took her shot like a champ, again, unexpected! It has been fun to see her become more grown up and comfortable in new situations. 

Rem is our cautious girl. She goes on slides now, but that hasn't always been the case. She is very cautious with anything that involves motion. She won't even sit on the bar stools in our kitchen because they are higher and have no backs on them. But again, I think it is great that she knows her limits and she is okay with it. She'll know when she's ready to do more and that's okay with me! 

We just adore this beautiful, stubborn, sassy, smart red headed girl of ours, and can't imagine not having our Rem in our family!
