Sylvie is Four

On Sylvie's birthday this year, I made sure it was my working day at her school so that we could spend the day together. She and her friends were so sweet together. They made her pictures and cards and there was lots of outside play, including picking blackberries and very busy work at the mud pie bakery.

At home there was a lovely dinner with grandparents. Sylvie's dinner of choice was cheese and pineapple pizza followed by cherry pie and she genuinely seemed to love every bite.

We just adore this amazing 4 year-old of ours with all of her big, exciting ideas and her fantastic sense of humor. Here's this year's birthday interview.
