she rocks our socks

To the girl who can't quite figure out her pronouns but can swim to the bottom of the deep end.
The girl who says, "Oh, Vi, you so cute!" Even with a grimace on her face, as her sister is yanking her hair.
 The girl who will play with any new friend--no matter their age, size or language.
 Who quietly cries when she sees her dad packing for a trip and dissolves into fits of laughter when he comes home.
The girl with a smile and, "Sawadeekah!" for every stranger she meets.
 Who would love to spend all day with a paint brush in one hand and her dinosaur book in the other.
The girl who can't stand to lose a race and loves to be fast.
 Who is happy no matter where in the world she may be.
And the girl who has been counting down the days until her birthday since last December and has celebrated every friend's birthday with as much enthusiasm as if it it was her own.

It's your turn.
You are four and we love you!

Happy birthday to Elie! I can't believe she is four already! She sounds like a total crack up. She needs to hang out with our Ellie. They are so much alike it's crazy.
