I am 4!!!
4 years old

41" tall and 38lbs

Moved her birthday because Brian was going to be gone for work on her birthday, so we moved it back a week and didn't tell her so she wouldn't be sad he missed her birthday. We still did lots of fun things on her birthday but didn't ever tell her it was her birthday. We celebrated her "birthday" on April 10th. All she wanted to do was eat at Chick Fil A and go to the the zoo.

Moved to her own room downstairs and had zero problems until Brian left for a work trip and now she will only sleep with me. She got Moana wall stickers and it hoping those will help get her downstairs again. She wants to paint the room grey.

Loves all of her friends. Wants to play with friends all day, her favorites are McKenna Hokanson, Joslyn and Savannah Baker, Harper and Jaden Sandthuff, McKinley Miera and Kayson and Cohen Hymas.

Learned how to ride a pedal bike right before turning 4 (in less than 25 minutes) and loves it. Is really good except at starting herself. Hopefully her new bike will help. Currently she is riding a handmedown princess bike that our neighbors gave her.

Was given the choice between doing dance and preschool this year, she chose dance. So we signed her up through a local school with Ms. Jill. Her friend, Harper, also goes to dance with her. She loves dance!

Did outdoor soccer and indoor soccer this year. I coached her for indoor soccer. Loves practice didn't really like the games. Would get "tired" after about 5 minutes of playing.

Still loves her chickens and likes to go check for eggs all the time.

Loves her cats that Dad let her get this year. Rhino, Sky and Bolt. 

Currently movie favorite is Moana. Also likes watching Princess Sofia, Dinosaur Train, Magic School Bus, How to Train Your Dragon, Wild Kratts and Curious George. Will still occasionally watch Peppa Pig.

Loves to paint, especially with the real paint from Crayola. She will paint with watercolors and bath paint but not as long. Also loves drawing on her boogie board.

Loves having me paint her finger nails and toe nails. But usually has it all chipped the next day. She doesn't like having her hair done but does have opinions on what style I should do. Also insists on washing her own hair and always asks if she can only wash the back.

I got her a kindergarten prep set and she usually likes doing school with me, unless her friends are home. She can count to 20, knows all her colors, pretty good with shapes and generally can recognize A-H, K, M, O and P.
 
Her two favorite activities are playing outside and watching movies. I have to limit her movie watching when her friends aren't home to play with. Her rule for watching movies used to be that she could only watch TV while Breydon was taking his nap, but that got ruined when Breydon stopped napping. Now she gets to watch in the morning before Breydon wakes up.

Loves to play dress up with her friends. She has princess costumes and super hero costumes. She and Harper have been recently playing Moana and Maui. They also play house a lot. 

Learned how to ride a bike and loves it! Prefers the little princess bike handmedown from our neighbors rather than the big one we bought her for her birthday.

Funny Adleigh Speak ~ "Can you know how to do this?" means do you know how to do this and help me?
"Eleventeen" is what comes after 19.

Favorite foods are peanut butter, apples and cheese, bananas, grapes, yogurt, hot chocolate and push up suckers. Still not a huge fan of meat.
