And so she turns 4....

According to me:

Cara's favorite movie- Rango
Favorite food- Apples
For fun Cara likes to- play house
I like to (blank) with Cara- do things
She likes to play around outside. Probably likes to go to the zoo.  And her best thing is going to San Diego.

According to the rest of the family:
Oh man.  What to say about Cara.  The funny part about our girls is that they don't grow very fast physically but they do grow up quickly.  Cara is still pretty small.  We'll find out how small in a couple weeks, but it's also that she still speaks with a tiny voice.  It's not quite as tiny lately but she still prefers to be quiet compared to Siena.  Her lisp is fading and sometimes you can tell that she is deliberately saying her 's' sound or 'r' sound to fix it.

She loves to run around the house and hop from our couch to the love sac to the other couch but she does love to stop and cuddle.  We still have a thumb sucker, but over the last two weeks she has strived very hard to limit it.  We are currently headed to Sea World San Diego in honor of her birthday and she wants a prize.

She ends up in our bed 2 or 3 nights a week but I don't mind.  She has started to really try and dress herself.  She hates having her hair combed and done.  She finds it miserable.  She's better about brushing her teeth by herself with just a little help.

She is a FISH in the water now.  She doesn't love going in deep water still, but she LOVES to show off in Grandma and Grandpa's spool by swimming from side to side and even the length of the spool.  Yesterday she was showing off how she could "float" in the "deep".

She has figured out how to use the mouse on the computer and loves to play on a website called ABCmouse.com.  She can't quite write her name, but she has time to develop that skill.

She's still not as social as Siena, but does like to play with friends.  She likes to read books, but is frustrated that she can't actually read the words yet.

I'm sure I'll think of more things to add later.

We celebrated early with family and Grandma and Aunt Angie made minion cupcakes.  They were quite the hit.
