Ruby turns 4!


Who can believe that our little Booey is four years old!!  We love this girl, and had so much fun celebrating with her.  She had a Barbie filled birthday, and even got her first big girl bike.  She was so happy!!  I crammed the night before her birthday, sewing and sewing her very own owl.  She had wanted one ever since Ella's party, and I was glad to make it happen.  Little Ruby has had a great year, where she has loved preschool, going to dance class, and spending lots of time with mom and her friends.  She's down to taking a nap about three days a week, and even when she goes a week without one (such as the Washington DC trip), she is never tired and cranky.  That is not to say that she doesn't have her moments  - she definitely does!  She's exploring and testing and trying to figure out what she can get away with, just like every other four year old!  But she is still a very sweet little girl that I know I can take anywhere at any time, and she will behave marvelously.  What a treat she is!  Ruby still insists on being a picky eater (at least for our household!), but she eventually gets the job done.  It just takes a LONG time and lots of helping with bites, counting bites, bribing, threatening,...you name it!  Other people who see her out and about, munching on her little baggie of sweet peppers, however, would argue that at least she eats her veggies!!  Happy Birthday my sweet little Ru!!
