Darling girl, you are four years old. Four!
You are becoming so grown up; articulate and thoughtful, and tall! I know you love being a big girl, you are so proud to help, so happy to be involved. Your confidence and kindness take my breath away. You are a whirlwind of enthusiasm and laughter. You brighten our days.
You can be a challenge, I have to be honest. You are determined, stubborn and not one to take no for an answer. This can be hard work, but your strength of character is a wonderful thing to see.
Your constant questioning and pushing of boundaries is as inspiring as it is exhausting. And while I never want you to lose that ability to see beyond the moment, sometimes you do need to let things be. But, that will come.
You are bright and clever and oh, so quick. You amaze me and there are times when I can’t keep up!
You are kind and caring, you hate to see anyone cry and you’re the first to offer comfort. Or chocolate. Even on my worst days you can make me smile. Even on your worst days you can make me smile!
Your brothers adore you. You drive them nuts, but they love you. Nothing makes me happier than watching the three of you together and I hope you remain as close throughout your lives. You are a lucky girl to have two such wonderful big brothers. Remember that, and appreciate it.
You see the best in everyone, and you bring out the best in people. Your love of life is infectious and you draw others to you. A great skill to have, but one that comes with responsibility; to always be kind and inclusive, to be mindful and aware of those around you.
You are a wonderful friend.
We love you, beautiful girl. You are a joy to know and you have made our family complete.
Happy Birthday sweetheart.

Happy 4th Birthday wishes to your gorgeous girl. I can’t believe how much she’s grown since I started to read your blog!
Thank you Izzie, I can’t believe it either!
This is beautiful – and so is your girl, so full of character. Happy Birthday to her xxx
Thank you Vicky xx
My daughter is 4 this year *sob* What a lovely post for your daughter to look back on! xx
Thank you Hannah x
Awww Sara — this is so beautiful. Gorgeous, heartfelt words that your little girl will be so happy to read when she’s a little bit older. They grow so fast don’t they? My boys have just turned 3 and I’m trying so hard to make time slow down — but it’s marching on so quickly. Happy, happy birthday to your bright and clever little friend! xx
They really do Caro, and even though each new stage is so exciting, I would like to press pause every so often!
Comfort or chocolate, she is awesome xx
Yes she is! Thank you :)
Oh yes she is darling indeed! Four that is a big milestone and I love that stage with my own kiddos. They can more freely communicate, but they are so sweet and loveable and yes darling :) that they just make you so happy!
Exactly, we have the best conversations now, it’s so much fun, and she’s still got that wonderful ability to jump from one flight of fancy to another, without pausing for breath :)
Happy birthday little lady! She is absolutely precious. Time passes so quickly, doesn’t it?! x
Thank you. It really does!
Aww, this is such a cute and moving post. Happy birthday to the little one, and thank you for sharing how incredible she is with all of us x
Thank you :)
What a lovely lovely post, i wrote a similar letter to my 3 year old boy to mark his birthday. I can’t believe how quickly it goes! This is such a wonderful age too :)

They really do! Thank you x
Popped over through Jen’s linkup, and just want to wish a happy birthday to your little girl! We have a near four-year-old and it’s definitely an interesting transition. Looks like you’ve got a sweet one there.
Thank you, it’s a fun age, but it certainly has it’s moments :)
Hi Sara, I hope your little girl had a wonderful birthday and I hope that one day when she’s older you print off this letter to give to her. I’m sure it will make her smile as it has done anyone who has read it… And she’ll never be short of friends if she hands out chocolate for comfort.

Thank you Debbie, she had a wonderful time x
Awww, so very, very precious. They grow up so quickly and the transformation is astounding isn’t it?!
Thanks for sharing and a very happy birthday to your beautiful girl!
xoxo
Thank you Jennifer. They do grow so fast! Wonderful to watch though x
