Sophia is 4

Four seems so Big Girl. It's Independence. It's I Can Do It Myself. It's I Am Now Old Enough. It's graduation from car seat to booster. It's learning to read, tie shoes, contemplation, learning consequences, asking big questions. I've noticed this subtle shift into Big Girl, but having Sophia actually turn 4 feels so official. It's as if the last bit of baby powder has been dusted off. I realize that as Sophia is first born, I look forward to the next thing with her. I am eager to see what is around the corner. I've been like this since she was born. I couldn't wait for her milestones. And while I am just a little bit sad that she is no longer a baby, I am more excited that she is becoming such a big girl. Happy birthday, Sophia!
