– Doll Face Turns Four #ippp

Doll Face Turns Four #ippp

Welcome to #iPPP! Sarah at The Sunday Spill and I want to see your funny, your yummy, your heartfelt, your favorite phone photos of the week. All you need is a blog post containing at least one photo from any phone camera. Link up below! (But, Sarah is smack-dab in the middle of moving her family AGAIN, and will not be joining us this week. If you like her page on Facebook, go send some non-stressful vibes to her. She’ll be back soon!)

This little lady turned four on Monday. It’s a big deal to wake up so grown up, even if your big sister says you don’t look any bigger.

We celebrated both girls on Sunday, at a bounce house, and had entirely too much fun.

On Monday, a cupcake was had with eggs for breakfast.

And then gluten free pizza for lunch after swimming lessons.

On Tuesday, Doll Face asked if she was still the birthday girl. No darlin’, but you’re still four.

In other news…you’ve probably already seen this, but if not, my Listen To Your Mother video is up and viewable. Thanks to The Medicine Abuse Project for sponsoring the videos this year!

Happy Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter! We are welcoming four in our household in a few weeks and we're all looking forward to it. Thank you for posting your video too. Loved hearing your voice and your amazing LTYM piece.

  Four is fun! And kind of tough. There's so much expected independence that comes with it…as in, they expect to be so independent, and I'm not sure I'm willing to go there. 😀
  
  Thank you, Christine!

It looks like a great celebration! We celebrated four a couple of weeks ago. Four is big, even if they haven't grown overnight. 🙂

  It is big. We're celebrating again tomorrow with another set of family. It goes on and on and on. 😀

Doll face is right! She is beautiful. 🙂

  Thank you! I love her face.

I never knew your husband's story! Oh my gosh! I have no words. Except that I'm glad you shared, yet mortified you lived through this.

On a happier note, happy birthday to your lovely daughter.
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:51 am
  
  Thank you, Ilene. It was quite a horrifying chapter in my life.
  
  And thanks for the birthday wishes! I'm sure she wishes it was still her birthday. 😉

Oh Greta…your LTYM piece is amazing. I feel privileged that you shared that with all of us.

And happy birthday to your girl! Woot to having four-year-olds! 🙂
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:51 am
  
  Thank you so much, Katie.
  
  And yay four year olds!
Alison July 17, 2013 at 7:55 am

Happy Birthday, sweet child!!
Cupcakes for breakfast FTW.
Loved your LTYM piece. You were amazing.
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:52 am
  
  We should have cupcakes everyday. Except the kids seem to think pancakes or waffles are just as good. Or donuts. Mmmmmm donuts.
  
  Thanks, Alison.

  Oh, thank you, Poppy.

happy birthday big girl!!!
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:53 am
  
  She's SO big all of the sudden!
jwilliams057 July 17, 2013 at 9:33 am

Four is a big deal! And wouldn't it be fun if everyday could be like a birthday.
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:53 am
  
  Oh, man. I'm already looking forward to my birthday, and it's three months away.
justanothermomof2 July 17, 2013 at 9:56 am

Oh so very sweet! Four year olds are a whole world of fun (my daughter is 4).

Your LTYM piece is simply beautiful.
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:54 am
  
  Thank you, Ashley.
  
  Four year olds are so fun, and so….frustrating sometimes, aren't they? All of the sudden, they think they should be able to do ALLTHETHINGS by themselves. 🙂

She is a doll face and 4 is awesome. I love 4… My favorite age group to teach! Happy Birthday, pretty girl. 🙂
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:55 am
  
  They are fun, aren't they? And trying to be so dang independent. 😀
lydsrich July 17, 2013 at 1:09 pm

  Thanks, Lydia! Four is so much fun.

Man I love a bounce house party. Mostly because I don't have to clean my house after. 😉

Happy Birthdays to your precious girls!!
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:57 am
  
  EXACTLY. It was fun, and pricey, and SO MUCH LESS STRESSFUL. 😀
Laura July 18, 2013 at 10:07 am

Looks like such a fun birthday! She is such a cutie.
And Greta, you know I love your LTYM piece so much. Your courage, your strength, your vulnerability….you are such an amazing woman.
- gretafunk July 19, 2013 at 9:59 am
  
  They did have a great birthday, and yay! We're celebrating again tomorrow with more family in AR. 🙂 But again, I don't have to cook or clean. Woohoo!
  
  Thank you, Angela. That means a lot.

Oh Greta, I just now had a chance to sit in quiet and watch the video of your LTYM piece. I am new to your blog so I didn't know the whole story. Oh my heart, you have me in tears. Your strength shows in your words. Absolutely beautiful. Also sending a virtual hug. Because I just have to.
