Scout never walks - always runs or skips everywhere, although by far her favourite mode of transport is on my shoulders. She is very loud at home and is generally not shy, although she definitely can have her moments. She gets a lot of joy out of everyday activities that she attacks with abandon like ... playing 'whats the time mister wolf', jumping waves at the beach, doing 'motorboat' in the pool and generally acting silly with Luca. She is very affectionate to Kelly and I and a big cuddle from Scout can set me on my way to a good day or take away any tiredness at the end of the work day. She likes music and her favourites are anything by Nicki Minaj, Georgia Brown by Kasey Chambers and she went through a big Gangnam Style phase this year often asking to watch the video so she could sing and dance with it. She likes her girly things, her jewellery and getting Kelly to put the tiniest bit of make-up on her will make her day. She is very competitive and not a good loser at anything from running races to snap (fairy snap). If you get her mad she will march off to her room or outside the house and sit and sulk for a few minutes then come back, announce that you are 'mean' and then forget the whole episode and play happily. She loves sneaking into our bed in the morning, although sneaking may be an exaggeration as she loves smacking her hand next to my pillow and yelling 'wake up' if she gets the chance - always fun when you are sound asleep at 5:30am. She has a sweet tooth and believes it is her birthright to have one piece (minimum) of candy a day. She has also taken to referring to herself as 'Scouto' lately.
I know she will always make me happy and I hope I can help her keep getting so much life out of life. We love our beautiful little girl and all of the energy and joy she brings to our lives. Happy 4th birthday Scouto!
