Alyssa Joy turns Foy

She still has the cutest little girl talk, where her "r's" sound like a "y." She is sassy and spunky and Such. A. Girl. She loves her hair pretty's and bracelet's and necklace and doing 2 pokey piggy tails in her hair. She likes to play wiith my hair and asks to give me a "butterfly haircut." She asks for a touch of my lipstick, and I make sure she pops her lips just after to spread it around. She has learned to sweet talk, and also knows how to tease her brothers. She sees the bond they share and wants a part of it. But just goes about it the wrong way. She wants to hold Cali, and will wake her to do so (which she often gets time out for). She talks our ears off, just likes to hear the sound of her voice....with conversations such as:

her: "mommy, whats 2+2"

me: "4"

her: "what is 4+4?"

me: "8"

her: "what is 8+8?"

me: "16"

her: "what is 16+16?"

and so on and on and on....

Since I've had a digital camera her entire life, I thought it'd be fun to collect some images for a collage. Well, as usual, I went overboard and couldn't stop myself. This IS the peared down version. The downside of digital is I don't have a whole lotta prints, so I'll print these 8x10 size collages for her album. Click on them to enlarge.

On her 4th Birthday, June 12th

Thanks Aunt Kriste for the "4" shirt and Miss Emily for the big pink flower hair pretty.

*P.S. If you are like me and look at the dates on posts, I am keeping this birthday date, even though it is 5 days later.
