Is she really 4?

It was official on January 19, 2010, Maggie turned 4.  Sure it's not as big as 5---because that's when you can have gum---but it's way bigger than 3.  Her day started with presents, then Nancy and I went to her school to have party with her class during lunch---we brought chocolate chip cookies with pink and red M&M's.  In the evening we had Dad's Famous Mac 'n Cheese, pizza, cake, ice cream, and opened the family presents.  (Sounds kinda like what we did yesterday, it's like deja vu all over again.)  Leading up to this day she kept asking, "How many more sleeps until my birthday?"  Now all I can ask is, "How many more sleeps until her next one?"  The answer troubles me.  Life is too short.
