Kelsey is 4

My sweet baby girl is 4. She shared her birthday with Easter on Sunday. Kelsey had a small party with some of her preschool friends last Saturday, and this Saturday we celebrated with our family. What a special day to have the entire Wade clan together!


So, Miss Kelsey at 4 ...


  • She is girlie. She loves pink and purple, ruffles and dresses, sparkles and glitter, crowns and wands.

  • She is tough. Kelsey doesn't hesitate to fight back when one of her big brothers picks on her.

  • Kelsey literally bounces wherever she goes. Rarely does she just walk, but rather skip, jump or run.

  • Kelsey loves to do crafts and color. She is just beginning to take more care with her pictures and color within the lines.

  • She's eager to begin playing soccer or swimming on the swim team, just like her big brothers.

  • Kelsey is taking gymnastics, and she loves it. No surprise, she bounces through the entire lesson.

  • She is confident.

  • Kelsey takes her "purple gankie" just about everywhere we'll let her take it. And you can tell by its tattered state.

  • She is best friends with her big brother, Ryan. They play endless hours together, and she often looks to him for help.

  • When Kelsey is being difficult, it's often her big brother Brendan who saves the day. He can reason with and calm her.

  • Kelsey loves dogs. So much so, that when I tell her we're going to lunch with Grammy and Papa, she immediately wonders aloud whether their two daschunds will be with them.

  • She is in a wonderful preschool class, where she is learning to write Ks, Ms and other letters, to identify patterns, colors and shapes, and recognize opposites. She loves it!

  • Picky? No. Sweet tooth? Yes. Kelsey will eat many more foods than either of her brothers, but she is also more likely to eat sweets all day long if we let her. Lunch is typically her biggest meal, as she will eat anything on the table (my plate included).

  • She is sweet and lovable! Kelsey loves to snuggle with me and showers me with hugs and kisses.

  • You never need a radio in the car with Kelsey. She will sing her original songs without commercial interruptions.
