Questions to Ask Your Four Year Old {Ailey}

Kids say the funniest things. Today I’m sharing questions to ask your four year old on her birthday. We asked our four year old Ailey 30 questions about her favorites and growing up.

I cannot believe Ailey is four years old! We celebrated her birthday all weekend long with cake, ice cream, balloons, and some of her favorite people. We feel bad we couldn’t have a huge party like last year, but Covid ruins everything. Ailey is growing up so fast now that she has left the toddler stage. I thought I had trouble watching her leave the baby stage, but now I want to hold her even tighter.

Skills: Ailey loves to draw and can really color in the lines now! She writes her name very well and enjoys ‘writing’ other things using letters of the alphabet. She insists on wearing her shoes on the wrong feet and doesn’t like socks. Ailey can get dressed and undressed alone, but sometimes the shirt gets stuck on her head. She LOVES girly outfits, her “Girl Scout” dress, anything with a tutu skirt, and dressing in whatever feels good (instead of what matches). She remembers words to songs and loves to perform with her guitar. She runs everywhere instead of walking; she can skip and hop too.

Other fun facts about Ailey

Ailey has the best curly hair hair EVER but often wants it in pig tail buns or pulled back. She also asks me to straighten it sometime – hopefully she will embrace her curls as she gets older.

Ailey started sucking her thumb when I was sick with Covid in April – the pediatrician says to hold off on trying to get her to stop until the world calms down. She used to have a pacifier but Brandon took it away a year ago this month!

Being a little sister is tough but Ailey worships the ground Annabelle walks on. They are the best of friends and their bond is so strong – even though Ailey argues with Annabelle a lot. Ailey says she wants a baby brother or sister but knows it’s up to God for her to have one.

When Ailey gets excited or overtired she talks A LOT very fast. She is one of the fastest talkers I know! With a little raspy voice and super speed sentences, sometimes Ailey is difficult to understand. She says the funniest things though – she remembers a lot, is very literal, and passionate about the world. Ailey’s temper is a great example of her intense emotions about life!

Everyone that meets Ailey will say they love her – she is so many people’s “spirit animals” and brings joy to many. Her silly dances and faces and overall energy is impressionable and lovable.
