Four

Our baby girl is four. Four! It's just hard to believe. Here's a little snapshot of Scotlen at this moment in time:

Favorite things: Dinosaurs, bubble wrap, coloring, fruit, ice cream, horses (to ride, not as a food item), talking (to anyone, about anything, at anytime), digging for fossils.

Least favorite things: Sharing with her brother, bedtime, naptime, "quiet time," Jim Carrey as the Grinch, going underwater, being left out of a conversation.

Career plans: to be a "famous doctor" (like Dr. J? Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman?, Dr. Phil? Dr. Jeckyll? This is unclear to us).

Favorite movie: Spirit

Favorite destinations: the beach, the fair, the zoo, Knoxville

Favorite person: Bennett

Scotlen's birthday weekend turned out to be a whirlwind of fun, family, and sugar overloads. My count places the birthday group songs at 4 - all with presentation of a different goodie. She started out with a trip to the zoo on Thursday, Reynolds family party on Friday, Fitzpatrick family party on Saturday, a movie (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) on Sunday, Chuck E Cheese for lunch on Monday, and Red Robin for dinner on Monday. Oh yeah, 2 cakes, a cookie bouquet, and two bowls of ice cream. We're really pushing for her to hit that 40 lb mark before Jonas's birthday so we don't have to buy extra carseats. Visual highlights as follows:

In search of H1N1 germs at the zoo

Dinosaur cake

In the party spirit

Favorite ride at Chuck E Cheese

Ice cream with two candy bars on the side - not our idea

Scotlen, our birthday wish for you is that life brings you joy equal to that which you have brought to us. And also for a new "sharp tooth." Obviously.
