All about Payton.

My Payton.

She turned 4!!

Lemme tell you a little somethin about this girl.

She is THE sweetest child on planet earth. She is so very caring of everyone and everything.

She is EXTREMELY attentive to what is going on around her, and she hurts when she sees someone hurting.

She's calm. Very calm and loves to cuddle.

I have a confession! I struggle greatly with babying her. Thats how entirely precious she is. Her and I would sit on the couch together, buhlie (her special blanket) in hand and chill all day long. As hard as it is for me to let her grow up,  Its something that I am working on. 

Just today, as I picked her up and laid her back to cuddle with her, she sat up and told me she didnt wanna lay like a baby.

Waaahhhh!!!!

That was a devastating wake up call for me.

She's still a tiny little thing and does not eat much, but she's still on the charts, so she's gaining weight somehow. Quite possibly the chocolate milk she has to have every morning when she wakes up. Some people need coffee to wake up, Payton is an absolute wreck in the morning until she gets her chocolate milk... and it never fails, complete turn around as soon as she gets her choc milk.

She's an animal lover. I really think that she will work with animals when she gets older. Its pretty sweet.

She LOVES crocodiles/alligators.

For her Birthday, she got a manicure and pedicure. She told me she wanted those new nail press on things. Not like fake nails, but the design things. They're pretty neat... probably not neat enough for the hefty price tag that comes with it. But hey, its what the girl wanted.

.... and her daddy abliged

We spent the day with her at Mr. Gattis and she wanted to see a movie, so we went and saw Planes. Its always SUCH a pleasure to spend one-on-one time with the kids... especially the quieter ones who can sometimes get lost in the mix of craziness!!

and we got home way to late and ate cupcakes in her Birthday suit. ;)

.... and while were on the subject of this girl... She started going to "school" 2 days a week. Its been amazing for her and I! She is loving it and doing amazing! I always dreaded this stuff with her, thinking she wouldn't do well because I may have scarred her by babying her too much. I'm glad thats not the case though. 

Isn't she so darn cute??

She also started ballet up again. We are hoping this time around is a little more successful than last time. I think her doing it without Madelynn will be beneficial to her. She loved the first lesson, and told me she wants to keep going back for a loong time.

Oh, and she wants us to call her "Ballerina"
