The Moo Turns Four!

Today is Miss Moo's fourth birthday. It is so hard to believe what a big girl she's become. Smart, funny as hell, spirited, spunky, a little bit batty, and a lotta bit cheeky - she's the best. She gives hugs and kisses with generosity and is very tuned in to the feelings of the people around her. There was a time she could tell I was sad and she came to me, put her hand on my shoulder, looked me in the eyes, and said (starting off with a sigh) "Oh, Auntie, everything will be ok." She meant it.

When you ask her how she is she says "I am very well, thank you." Even Emma Willard girls don't have such command of the English language. It is funny to hear a four year old say "well," but she does...every time.

She is a singer. When we skype she sings me songs - looooong songs - about everything and nothing, just on and on, singing about nice alligators and rainbows. I am trying to figure out how to record them so I can share them with the world - the world would love her songs.

She's a great little niece, growing into a neat little lady. On her way to school and learning more and more.

I love watching her, being with her. She (and her sister, of course) makes stress melt away (I am their aunt, not their mother!), makes me realize what's important in life.

I made a "Moo"vie. Here's a chance for you all to see a little bit of her first four years.
