A Personality

“Pull Quotes” of a 4 Year Old: Weeks 1-2

Welcome back! So much has happened since “Pull Quotes” of a 2 Year Old, there’s no way I can possibly remember/retell it all now. So I’ll try to catch you up as we go.

Where to start? My daughter is every bit as hilarious as she was back then (read the highlights), now even more so. For new readers, I chronicle the best of what my daughter says on a daily basis and compile these “Pull Quotes” for your enjoyment, my personal reference and hopefully one day her utter embarrassment.

She does not merely have a personality, she IS a personality.

She sings, she dances (if you recall: mommy & I were both theatre majors, so this was almost inevitable). She doesn’t really play pretend so much as she directs, writes and stars in scenes from her upcoming film debut.

She is currently brimming with excitement over her upcoming 4th birthday weekend. This includes a Star Wars-themed party at the local kids gymnastics place with her besties from school and dance class, cousins and neighbors. That will be followed by a family gathering the next day and then the ever-popular cupcake celebration at school the day after.

If you missed it, I got her “okay” for this. Read a transcript here:

Without further ado, here are the first “Pull Quotes” of a 4 Year Old:

Monday, Jan 1

“Your name is daddy, okay?”

Tuesday, Jan 2

Daddy: Did you fart again or was that me? Daughter: That was you.

Wednesday, Jan 3

“Daddy, what did I said? No singing when we’re inside.”

Thursday, Jan 4

“I’m the little boss.”

Friday, Jan 5

Daddy: They can say 2–0. Daughter: Or they can say twenty.

Saturday, Jan 6

“Smell my feet!”

Sunday, Jan 7

“I had a dream that I had two daddies… I’m gonna have more dreams.”

Monday, Jan 8

Daughter: Is this my favorite song? Daddy: IS this your favorite song? Daughter: YEAH!

Tuesday, Jan 9

“Poow” (pool)

Wednesday, Jan 10

“Daddy… I’m trying to step on your shadow…”

Thursday, Jan 11

“Daddy, can you close the door so I can see the stars and the moon?”

Friday, Jan 12

“Smell me. Smell my mouth.”

Saturday, Jan 13

“I ate all of the pizza.”

Sunday, Jan 14

“Mommy, when we get home, I’m going to give you a hug and a kiss.”

Closing thoughts on the last two weeks:

Every day this girl grows, so does my love for her. I was just telling a friend there are times I look over at her and her mother while we’re enjoying some family time and just marvel at how lucky I am. I think that’s the main reason for doing this, as kind of a gratitude journal of these days. So I can look back on them and warm my heart when she’s grown up and off saving the world with mommy.

Have a great week. See you in two!

If you’re happy and you know it, and you really wanna show it… 👏🏽
