\"\"One day you wake up and you have a four year old.<\/p>\n

FOUR!!<\/p>\n

There is much truth to the saying the days are long but the years are short. It feels like only yesterday that she was being born.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure where all the time has gone.<\/p>\n

Juno is definitely a handful these days. She has already developed selective hearing and will ignore us if she wants to. It’s… frustrating. I hate having to repeat myself and then having to use that tone<\/em> to get her to stop whatever it is that she’s doing which possibly involves her injuring herself. Sigh.<\/p>\n

However, she is a pretty amazing little kid. She has this thing of using her hands and\/or feet as characters and she gets them talking to each other. It’s hilarious! The stuff that she comes up with is so imaginative and funny. Often she’ll just come out with the craziest stuff, like there’s a dragon on the other side of the door but it’s okay because she’s a happy dragon and is playing with her (Juno’s) slippers. Which are shaped like unicorns by the way…<\/p>\n

Hilarity often does ensue around here but most of the time I’m left in awe of how creative and imaginative she is. And how frustrating pre-schoolers can be. You can’t negotiate with a four year old. You really can’t. I’ve discovered that bribes work though.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo… happy birthday to my little rockstar who, I’m certain, is going to change the world one day.<\/p>\n
