My sweet Layla is four years old today...a big girl indeed! We are enjoying a busy day full of sweet surprises and celebrations. There are so many things I love about Layla...this list was a breeze to write!

30 Things I Love About Layla

1. Her dimple {she has just one}
2. Her little gaped-tooth smile...and how she tells everyone she lost her tooth falling down the steps on "balentine's day"
3. Her big beautiful blue eyes that can tell an entire story
4. The face she makes when she colors
5. How she loves...like LOVES...the color pink
6. Her loyalty to her one favorite puppy that she sleeps with and keeps close by at all times
7. Her love for all things little and cute
8. Her fierce love and adoration of her big sister
9. How she doesn't give it all away...you have to get to know her before she shows you all her cards
10. That she does not care what people think {except her mama} and she does what pleases her
11. She's tough on the outside, but all warm, fuzzy, and sensitive deep down
12. Her sweet little voice when she sings
13. The crazy outfits she puts together...and how they look totally normal on her
14. How she does everything in her own time and when she feels ready
15. How much the little contradictions in her nature can still surprise me
16. How her stuffed animals don't have names...they are simply "puppy" or "bunny" or "duck-a-ling"
17. The slightest roll of her tongue when she says her 'r' sounds
18. How tough she can be
19. 
    That she's quiet a lot, but she can always speak up for herself
20. How she is constantly barefoot...even in winter
21. The way she stands on her tip-toes when she's excited
22. How much she loves to color and draw
23. That all girl drawings and characters must have eyelashes
24. How she gave up the roll as baby of the family gracefully
25. How much she loves her baby sister and how she says "Raynie look at Maya, isn't she adorable"
26. The way she says "she" instead of "her"...as in "look at shes cute shoes"
27. Her tiny little nose that turns up at the end
28. Her laugh...it's indescribable
29. How great she is at finding things
30. How you can pretty much tickle her out of any bad mood

Sweet Layla, you will never know how much you are loved for just being you! Happy Birthday, Bea!
