I’m all out of babies. \u00a0 Excuse me while I wipe away my tears of sorrow. \u00a0For you see, today, Kulia turned 4. \u00a04! \u00a0No matter how you look at it, 4 is not a baby. \u00a04 is a little, sweet girl full of giggles and grins and rascal eyes. \u00a0Thankfully, 4 will still let mom sneak a few snuggles but 4 is very capable on her own, thankyouverymuch. \u00a0Sniff. \u00a0A 4 year old. \u00a0How time flies.<\/p>\n

Because Kulia is on the tail end of this stomach flu bug, we had a very mellow birthday for her. \u00a0Dinner was, of course, DinoNuggets with ranch but we threw in a Clifford juice box, ’cause, you know, it’s a big day and all. \u00a0After eating dinner, Kulia attacked the presents. \u00a0First up were the Walls Family dot paints. \u00a0A very big hit. \u00a0These were broken out and immediately used to good measure. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Next up, Leina gave Kulia her gifts. \u00a0I guess today, Leina had been working in her room to wrap presents and make cards for Kulia. \u00a0She was so very proud of them I just know she’d want me to share them with you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It reads: “I Love U Leina Loves Kulia H-B-D- Kulia”. \u00a0I’m thinking “Happy Birthday” was beyond her capabilities hence the H.B.D. \u00a0Upon 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!” \u00a0Am I raising these girls right or what?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The final sister present consisted of four slightly used Tinkerbell markers but they all had their lids still. \u00a0Bonus!<\/p>\n

Mom and Dad hit Target and picked her up her very own My Little Pony baby to snuggle and love.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next it was time for cake. \u00a0Actually, cupcakes. \u00a0Unfortunately, Kulia said her tummy didn’t feel so good and she didn’t want one. \u00a0 Poor thing. \u00a0All she could stomach was a left over donut hole from earlier today. \u00a0And so we gathered round the nibbled donut hole to sing her happy birthday and watch her blow out her candle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hmmmm, what will she wish for? \u00a0(Notice the beautiful Dot Paint setting for the slightly eaten donut hole. \u00a0Classy!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think she’s figured her wish out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Take a big breath! \u00a0You’ll need it to blow out that candle! \u00a0(Just try not to topple over the donut hole, will ‘ya?)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Happy Birthday Bitty! \u00a0We love you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
