Take me to Coney Island!

Today my sweet Pooky turned four! I will always remember the moment when I got to hold her for the first time. Well, it was actually my second time, because right after delivery I was rather dazed from the experience, so I do not recollect holding her, though I know I did (I have photos to prove). She was so tiny and fragile. This was my first time holding an infant, more over a newborn, moreover my own newborn. I did OK though. My Pooky was not dropped and I figured out which way was the top and which way was the bottom. After that day I knew what a complete and utter happiness felt like. By the way we almost named her Sonya. What a mistake that would have been, that name does not fit her, but Erin Sophia absolutely does.

My amazing and beautiful Erin Sophia is my joy (and sometimes pain, ha ha) and life (along with the Little Monkey). She barged into our family( just a 4 hour labor) on that day and what a bliss it is to know that she is ours for ever. I love her as much as it is humanly possible to love!

10 random things you most likely do not know about the birthday girl:

1. She always puts her shoes on proper feet

2. She thinks that 64 comes after 20

3. She had known the alphabet since she was 2 and a few months old

4. She'd better not catch you washing away her chalk doodles on the sidewalk (all hell WILL break loose)

5. She has a row of corn growing in our garden

6. She loves salmon and grapefruit, but hates majority of other foods

7. Her favorite color (currently) is blue

8. She is going to need braces (I saw the x-rays and it is obvious even to me)

9. She wants a blue motorcycle just her size from Santa (not going to happen! ever!)

10.She will bring home a kitten if you offer her one, so please do NOT! I mean it!

Today we were snuggling on the couch watching a documentary about amusement parks in America. One of the first mentioned was Coney Island. That was it! "Let's go to Coney Island!" She's been talking about it for the rest of the evening. Her plan is that papa will take her to Coney Island and I will stay home with Danny. Some day we will! But for now she is a child equivalent of Coney Island, our personal Coney Island: fun, special, beautiful, significant, happy and just wonderful! Happy Birthday my Erin Sophia!

PS: We were taking our friend Tyson home this evening and while in the car she was entertaining her audience with " Skip , skip, skip to the lou. Skip to the lou my darling!" It was was rather enjoyable.

Ta ta for now!

Another PS: We did have a party for her on Friday , but this tale will come at a later time, hopefully this week, along with the many other tales of the past month. I have much to tell!
