I’m all out of babies.   Excuse me while I wipe away my tears of sorrow.  For you see, today, Kulia turned 4.  4!  No matter how you look at it, 4 is not a baby.  4 is a little, sweet girl full of giggles and grins and rascal eyes.  Thankfully, 4 will still let mom sneak a few snuggles but 4 is very capable on her own, thankyouverymuch.  Sniff.  A 4 year old.  How time flies.

Because Kulia is on the tail end of this stomach flu bug, we had a very mellow birthday for her.  Dinner was, of course, DinoNuggets with ranch but we threw in a Clifford juice box, ’cause, you know, it’s a big day and all.  After eating dinner, Kulia attacked the presents.  First up were the Walls Family dot paints.  A very big hit.  These were broken out and immediately used to good measure.  

Next up, Leina gave Kulia her gifts.  I guess today, Leina had been working in her room to wrap presents and make cards for Kulia.  She was so very proud of them I just know she’d want me to share them with you.

It reads: “I Love U Leina Loves Kulia H-B-D- Kulia”.  I’m thinking “Happy Birthday” was beyond her capabilities hence the H.B.D.  Upon opening the very well taped present (mental note: buy more tape) Kulia found a scrap of fabric from Leina’s stash to which she cried “OOOOH! FABRIC!”  Am I raising these girls right or what?

The final sister present consisted of four slightly used Tinkerbell markers but they all had their lids still.  Bonus!

Mom and Dad hit Target and picked her up her very own My Little Pony baby to snuggle and love.

Next it was time for cake.  Actually, cupcakes.  Unfortunately, Kulia said her tummy didn’t feel so good and she didn’t want one.   Poor thing.  All she could stomach was a left over donut hole from earlier today.  And so we gathered round the nibbled donut hole to sing her happy birthday and watch her blow out her candle.

Hmmmm, what will she wish for?  (Notice the beautiful Dot Paint setting for the slightly eaten donut hole.  Classy!)

I think she’s figured her wish out. 

Take a big breath!  You’ll need it to blow out that candle!  (Just try not to topple over the donut hole, will ‘ya?)

Happy Birthday Bitty!  We love you!
