Pumpkin's 4th Birthday

Pumpkin's birthday was a lot of fun! She is just now at the age where she has her own friends and she has an opinion about who she would like to invite to her party, so it was fun to make the invitation list with her.

She has been taking gymnastics class at Cypress Academy and loves it, so I thought it would be a great place to host her birthday party. We ended up with 6 kids total (4 of Pumpkin's friends, Princess, and Pumpkin). They spent an hour playing on the trampolines, rope swing, balance beams, vault, bars, and their favorite...the pit! Then we did cake and presents. It was simple but a very fun time.

I think four is going to be a great year. She really not a toddler anymore. She's a full-fledged little girl. Here is a description of Pumpkin at age four: Very independent and quite capable. More often than not lately, she really doesn't need my help. She's great at sharing most of the time, great at entertaining herself, great at doing her chores and keeping her room clean. She also has a great memory, I am discovering lately. She loves to play "little girl" or "hotel" or "school" with her sister and she loves to have friends over to play. She's not very shy and she even loves for me to leave her at her friends' houses all by herself to play. Some days are challenging (usually when she's short on sleep) but most days she is a delight. I love you Pumpkin, my big four year old!
