Everyone thinks that when you’re four,
You’re not a baby any more.
And some days when you’re four you like
To be a big girl on your bike,
You dress yourself and brush your hair,
You battle dragons in their lair.
But sometimes when you’re four you need
To take things at a different speed,
And have Dad squish your sweaty palms,
And snuggle in your Mummy’s arms.

Lovely Pooky, but it doesn’t stop after four either, I think in some ways that travels with you through life.

Have you had family with you for easter? We had dinner for 12 with guest ages ranging from brand new baby bump (NOT mine!) to 87 – pretty good eh? 😉

That sounds lovely Pooky. I went to Brisbane for youngest Gsons baptism, came home to eldest daughter and her two kids evening dinner and a good catch up. Also caught up with my brother and sister and their families yesterday. It was a good day, busy but when you are only a tad past four its a piece of cake.I have a poem to post this morning about my Easter.

Thank you. Four is my favourite age so far. I’m sure when my girls are five I’ll say that about five 😉 x
