4 years old

- Cowgirl Lulu
Lucinda Rose Thoms is 4 years old! She was born in Australia at 11:15pm which conveniently turned out to be 9:15am US Eastern. This meant we could celebrate the exact time without having to stay up really late.
Lucy (jointly with Henry) received a playset for the backyard. It is very large and only just fitted in the garage. Andrew and I spent many many hours putting it together. We did it all in secret at night. Lucy has asked people to give her books for her birthday so in that line of thinking she thought we were building her a bookshelf. She was very pleased to find out that it was a playset with 3 swings, a slide, a rockwall and a picnic table.
Andrew took the day off work and took Lucy to Cracker Barrel for lunch. He also made pancakes for breakfast. I organised a playdate for her friends from the mom’s group and made vanilla vanilla cupcakes with purple coloured frosting. We also gave her 2 board games, some nail polish and bubble bath, a ladybug girl book, some sticker crafts, some drawing paper and a purple maglite.
On Saturday she is had a pony party and you can see her above dressed up as a cowgirl! (It was extremely hot. Henry lasted about 10 minutes in his suit and Lucy was sweating in her outfit)
So what is Lucy like at 4 years old?
