four years old

Lenna turned four last week. I'm the mom of a four-year-old.  I can't wrap my head around it.  But she really is so big (the little kind of big), and capable.

I made her this moses basket for her dolls, and she has been dragging it everywhere!  She says her favorite part is the little green braid.

A few weeks before her birthday, Lenna requested that Rauland make her birthday cake, because, and I quote, "he's better at cooking".  #momfail.  She wanted a carrot applesauce cake, and he did a killer job!

Also, she asked for salad and brussel sprouts for her birthday dinner.  Little healthy weirdo.
