Oh Little Pumpkin... its so hard to be 4!!!!
I still have vivid memories of crying so hard as a flower girl at my aunt's wedding when I was 5 that my aunt had to stop the ceremony and walk over to console me.
It was nerves. All the build up and excitement just got the best of me.
(A tiny part of me still feels like I ruined their wedding. I still don't like being up in front of a crowd, even when I'm not the center of attention.)
