Life as 4 year old Siena

A little update about Siena.


I started the birthday interview questions this year that you see going around.  It was fun to ask them and I was surprised how fast they answered each question.  Some are so true, some are just what they saw or did that day, and some are just plain funny.

What is your favorite food - pizza
What is your favorite TV show – Paw Patrol
What is your favorite movie – Tinkerbell
Who is your best friend – Abbey my cousin
What do you want to be when you grow up – a mom and a dad
What is your favorite place to go with your family – Siena: Where’s the place you get candy corns? Me: Kmart?  Siena: Yeah I like to go to the little Kmart and getting candy corns
What is your favorite holiday – Christmas
What is your moms job – to vacuum
What is your favorite book – the new Paw Patrol books you gave me
What is your favorite color - pink
What makes you laugh – I laugh when dad goes somewhere crazy and he jumps me up
What is your favorite thing to play with – my squeaky bird
What makes you happy – when you tickle me

What is your dads job – to pick weeds
What is your favorite song – Bippity Boppity Boo
What makes you sad – when I get off the tramp and I don’t get to play with my brother and sister
If you had a wish what would it be – money going into the water for wishes
What is the meaning of life – huh. I don’t know
Why do you love mom – because you always let me play on your laptop with ABC mouse
Why do you love dad – because he takes me up when he was laying down, and he takes me up like a balloon

Siena - You have grown up a lot this year.  You have turned into a little girl and are no longer a toddler.  Whenever I look at you I think, I can't believe you're 4!  You love to negotiate.  Anything I say you always have to top with one more of something.  Rarely do you just agree the first time.  This will get you far in life but many days gets very frustrating.  Your first reaction when things don't go your way is to hit or push.  Even though you've been in time out so many times for this, it's your first initial reaction when someone makes you mad.  We are trying very hard to change this. 

You are such a good helper.  If I need someone to help me get something, you are the one always willing to help.  You help Aria and Jaron when needed.  You love pre-school now but did get a little nervous leaving mom the very first time.  I'm sure it was scary but I was so happy when you came out all smiles at the end of the first day.  You haven't looked back since.  You love learning.  You love to go into Dad's office and sit on the stool next to him and have him teach you letters, words and sounds.  You love typing on his laptop. 

You have been begging me for glasses every since Aria got hers.  I finally found a pair at Claire's in the mall and you love them.  You wear them everyday for at least part of the day.  You wear them to church, preschool and dance.  Sometimes you forget them and you are so disappointed because you just know that 'everyone will ask me where my glasses are because I look so beautiful in my pink glasses.' 

My favorite word you say right now is obsessed.  As in 'Mom, I'm so obsessed with Paw Patrol.'  I think it's so funny and you're right you are obsessed with Paw Patrol.  You love to play little imaginary games and you are usually the instigator or any new game or idea of what you and your brother and sister will play.  You like to build carriages, lay out all the blankets and put each other to bed in the office.  You have given up your naps.  I guess it's time since you're 4.  Just now I thought you were asleep but you just came running in here asking if it was time to get up.  I still give you quiet time each day but most times you talk me into letting you and Aria have quiet time in the play room.  Luckily you usually are pretty quiet.

We love the energy and love your bring into our home and can't wait to see where life takes you.

PS After our doctor visit today, you're sister is now taller then you...but just barely.  You're 34 lbs and 40.25 inches - 50% height and just under 50% weight.  The doctor and nurse thought it was the cutest thing ever that you are wearing cute little plastic pink glasses so you can be just like your sister.  I know you 2 are always going to be best friends.
