My Wonderful Tully - Aged 4

As it's Tully's birthday I wanted to take a leaf out of the Braithwaites blog and do a bit of an update on her!

Personality:
Tully is incredibly generous and will happily share anything she has - even if she's had to work hard to earn a couple of biscuits or some sweets she'll still give most of them away. She is very caring and loving, and looks after us all and does her best to cheer me up when I am sad (also read hormonal!)... She is very competitive and suggesting a race to do something is often the only way to get anything done, but she often loses deliberately right at the last minute so Mark and I get our turns at winning too. She is mostly happy and obliging, but has the attention span of a goldfish which can be incredibly frustrating.

Skills:
Tully is very clever in some areas well beyond her age: her vocabulary, common sense, general knowledge, and maths / number skills to name a few, but behind in other areas such as writing and anything involving spatial awareness.

Looks:
Tully is very tall for her age - she's been wearing aged 5-6 tops for a few weeks now although she's still in aged 4-5 trousers. She has long light brown hair that I very rarely allow her to wear down as it turns into a birds nest that's impossible to brush within about 30 seconds of her being let loose! I'm biased but she's very pretty, and has the most gorgeous blue eyes with long dark eyelashes.

Likes:
Spaghetti (or any pasta as long as it's plain with a little butter), The Wonder Pets, Holly, books and stories, anything pink, Harry, singing and dancing, swimming, being creative and making things.

Dislikes:
Vegetables, being in trouble, getting dressed, boys(!), kisses, tickles.

Things we love about her:
Her generosity, her enjoyment of any kind of outing or activity, her sense of humour, her loving nature.

Things that drive us bananas:
Her inability to listen requiring us to repeat ourselves at least 10 times before she responds, her faffing and dawdling, her dislike of most non pasta based food, and getting her ready in the morning.
