Happy Birthday Skylyn Clair!

Skylyn loves to hear people tell her, "Happy Birthday!" She even likes saying it herself in her own little Skylyn way. She is doing so much better with talking. It gives me hope that someday she will do more communicating and less throwing herself on the ground.

Sky impressed us with her transition to her "big girl" bed. She went to bed last night at 7:45 and slept until 7:30. I was going up to check on her, but she was awake just talking to herself. I hope this continues.

Malaina had a hard time today understanding that it is Sky's birthday and that she doesn't get presents. We even tried the, "Aren't you happy it is Sky's birthday so you can get ice cream?" That didn't work either. We had a few teary episodes. In the end she declared, "I can't wait for it to be my birthday so Sky doesn't get any presents." She will be disappointed when we have people over on Saturday and they have presents for Skylyn. It is hard being 4 1/2.

Skylyn did get some cool toys today. She got a table and chairs from Aunt B and Uncle Jim, stroller from TT, Maddie and Matt (She let Maddie know that it was hers by saying, "No! Mine!") and a baby doll from us. This year for her charm we got her a shoe since she started walking this year and since she is obsessed with shoes. Those of you who aren't familiar with the charms...each year we give the girls a charm so that when they are older they will have a full charm bracelet of things that we remember during each year of their life.

If I were to bring Malaina a present on Saturday - what would be her most favorite thing that she has been wanting?
