The Girl Who Lived

Skittle really is a miracle.  A true, God given gift.   She survived when all our other babies have not.  Six miscarriages, four failed FETs, three failed IVF's but SHE LIVED! It's not an exaggeration when I say that I give thanks to God every single day for her.   Sure, she can be stubborn, challenging, and a wee bit difficult at times but she is smart, talented, imaginative, beautiful, and a down right funny little thing.  Oh how we adore you, Little Skittle!

It's almost hard to believe Skittle is now four years old.   She's in pre-K4 this year at the same private Christian school as last year and she's absolutely loving it!  Here are some first day of school pictures:
 

She's around 30 lbs now (sometimes 29, sometimes 30) and we think she's 39 inches tall.  She wears a size 8 shoe.




Some of her favorites:


Food: Cupcakes?
Color: Pink and Purple ("I DON'T like blue anymore, mom!")
Sport: Swimming
Book: The Gruffalo
Toy: Anything new
Favorite Cartoon Characters: Pengu or Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates
Restaurant: The Waffle House


She's into playing Legos, kinetic sand, riding her bike or scooter, or her own creation "Dalmatian sleepover picnic party".  She still sleeps with her beloved lovie and with her head at the foot of her bed.  She's given up naps completely at home but has to go to bed very early (usually 6:30pm) to compensate.

Dressing up Jax is also a favorite pastime.  Don't worry, when he's had enough, he gets up and walks away :)
