Brooklyn at 4 1/2

Brooklyn Nicole at 4 1/2:

My little princess is still all girly girl. 

She loves to ride her bike and is fast. She also loves to run and calls herself a cheetah. No joke she can beat Laneah and even the older boys in our court in a race. We have a little track star on our hands. 

Brooklyn is a good helper and she especially enjoys helping me when I cook or bake. 

Fancy Nancy still rules supreme in our house. Brooklyn even dresses up like her. 

She likes to be a mommy and pushes her babies in the stroller sometimes when we go for walks. 

She loves to pick "ba kays" (Bouquets)

Brooklyn loves to make people laugh. She is very quirky and most of the time its funny, sometimes weird, haha. She likes talk in a deep man voice when she is pretending to be a boy and it gives me stitches. Once Laneah had Brooklyn pretend to be her boyfriend and christened her/him John. Brooklyn, er, John, talked in this man voice and played along and it was the funniest thing I have ever seen. 

She still likes to dress up and collect things in baskets, purses, even butterfly nets. 

I absolutely adore holding hands with my littles. 

Brooklyn said to me one day, "mom I can count in Spanish! "Uno, dos, tres, crackers!"

She changes a lot of words to begin with b. For example, "bassert" instead of dessert.

This sneaky girl is always hiding treats. 

Making wishes. 

Brooklyn always wants me to take her picture with statues and mannequins.  

Her first family picture. Don't we all look good? Spot on. 

Brooklyn is into ponies and princesses. But her favorite thing to play is pirates. She liked playing pirates before the new Tinkerbell pirate fairy movie, but now she plays all the time. She makes treasure maps and spy glasses, hunts for treasure, sword fights and all those great things pirates do. But the best is the lingo. She will say things like "avast ye swabs!" and "ahoy maties". Cutest pirate ever. 

Brooklyn is in ballet, tap and tumbling class. It is just her and twin girls in the class because it is during the day and so sweet. She loves dancing. 

Brooklyn is so sweet and cuddly. We love her so much.
