Today is my daughter Maya's 4th birthday. I cannot believe that she is 4 already. It seems like it was just yesterday that she was a plump little baby and now all of the sudden, she is a pre-schooler! And, to make matters worse, I gave away her baby crib on Saturday. I feel ridiculous about being sad about that baby crib and about Maya being 4 - but I am. She is so sweet and fun and I always want her to be that way. I do not want her to grow up and find out what the world is really like.....totally selfish of me I know. And a bit insane :) What sane person cries over a piece of furniture that she does not have room for and has not used in a very long while? I cannot have any more babies anyway, so I am not sure what my deal is. Must be the perimenopausal hormonal fluctuations! Yeah, ......well, that's my story anyway!
Maya had a party on Saturday with all of her cousins and a friend and then today she went to pre-school laden with treats. She is so excited to be four and feels so grown up! lol She had a lot of fun at her birthday party on Saturday. We went to the Great Northern Carousel - which is 50 miles away, but she loves it there! They make their own ice cream - which is delicious and the the kids always have a blast when we go there.
All in all - this birthday thing is just as much fun for me as it is for Maya, except for the fact that she *wants* to get older and I want her to stay young. We all know who is going to win that one!!

Oh, Honey. I feel your pain. I cried over the loss of the crib, too. :o)
Maya looks beautiful for her birthday! Sounds like it was a lot of fun.
We sold our crib about 2.5 years ago. I cried long and hard and then I found out the next week I was pregnant!! I can totally relate.
Happy Birthday Maya!
