Today is Jenna's fourth birthday! We had a birthday lunch at McDonalds with Grandma, Daddy, Julie, Brittany, Alison, and Darren! She then went to the movie theater with Daddy and Grandma to see the new Veggie Tales movie.
This morning, right after she woke up, I said, "Happy birthday Jenna! You are four!" She immediately burst into tears and said that she was upset because she wasn' any bigger than she was yesterday. She wanted to be "big like Daddy" and she thought that when you turn four, you would be bigger and wouldn't be wearing 4T clothes anymore. She said, "Look, Mommy! My clothes are still 4T and I should be wearing a 8 since I am not three anymore."
Whether this makes sense to you or not, I had to try to find some rationality amidst the irrationality. I calmly pointed out that the Hello Kitty shoes we just bought for her were a size bigger than before, so that must mean that she is getting bigger!"
It worked, and the craziness stopped.
Happy birthday to my sweet Jenna:)
