Cadence - 4 1/2 Years Old

I want to capture the kids' personalities and the things they enjoy when they are little. I think it will be so interesting to look back and see what things have stayed with each one into adulthood. :)

 Cadence LOVES to draw and be creative. If there is one thing that is consistant with what she will want to do it is to make her own pictures (not so much a coloring book) or make a craft. She just started being more creative in her pictures she draws with adding more details. She also just figured out how to cut out a heart by folding paper in half...so that is her new favortie thing.

 She likes to build, sort and put things in different areas. Not organized or clean up the things but just move stuff around. She will take all of her shoes off the the door organizer and make a pile of them. She will dump out all her baby dolls in a pile and then use the basket they are in to put her markers in. I guess in her mind it makes sense. :)
 She can write the alphabet & her name (still writes some of them backwards) and her numbers up to 19. She can verbally count to 34. She can make the sound for each letter and she is starting to try to figure out what a word starts with.

She also loves to be read to. She will always pick reading a book over watching a show.

She loves to dress up (mostly in her dance outfits or Rapunzel dress). Likes to have her hair done in braids and she wants to decide what she will be wearing for the day.
Cadence is very tender hearted. She is sensitive and so loving.
She is very easy going...but if she is tired, look out! A new Cadence comes out and it usually ends in a big fit with uncontrollable crying. It almost always happens when she is tired so we are able to work through it pretty easily. I rarely have to give a consequence for her not listening or for doing something she shouldn't.

Her love language is for sure physical touch. She is content to just sit and as long as I have a hand on her somewhere, she is good. Loves to snuggle!
She is very aware of taking care of others and making sure things are ok. She is so generous. She will gladly share her treat or money she has earned with her sister & brother.

I love her dearly.
