Fine, but don't expect a birthday party!

I know that parents say that their child seems to grow up overnight, and to hold on to every precious moment because the next thing you know your baby will be all grown up, but I have to say I was a bit skeptical when I returned from Texas and Reilly announced to me that she had turned 4.

When we first started potty-training Reilly, we gave her an M&M for each time she made a successful deposit into her little plastic potty. As time wore on, Reilly began demanding one M&M per year that she had been on this earth.

At first I couldn't figure out why Reilly had made herself four-years-old at the tender age of three, but as she came striding proudly out of the bathroom with four fingers held up this morning, I realized that there was at least one benefit.
