Sydney Turns 4

Sydney turned 4 over Spring Break last week. She's was such a lucky girl that Grandma Pack came all the way from Texas to celebrate the whole week with us! Sydney loved being able to show her all her toys and have a constant playmate for a whole week! She wasn't even interested in Mom and Wynn ;). More on the rest of our visit later. Sydney decided she wanted a "Tiger Cat" party this year. I have no idea where she got the idea, but it turned out really fun. Andy helped me make her a tiger cake, and we had safari themed games, complete with real Safari guests - Kiwi and Bandit. They were even calm enough to let a few of her friends pet them.

Sydney loves any kind of treasure hunts or exploring, so we decided the main activity would be a safari hunt. She and her friends decorated binoculars and animal masks for the safari and then got to search around the house for the animals escaped from the zoo. Sydney had a really fun fourth birthday and is so proud now that she is four. She's been going through all her clothes and pointing out which ones says four and saying that she can wear them now because she's a big four year old. At her four year check up she was 39 inches tall (34 percentile) and 32 lbs (24 percentile). My favorite thing about Sydney right now is that she likes to wink. Whenever she has showed me something she's proud of she smiles and winks. Happy Birthday Sydney!
