I cannot believe 3 years has already gone by since you blessed our family with your beauty. Since the day you were born I have been in awe of you, and although it seems impossible, I love you more each day.
Being your Momma is such a wonderful blessing. You are such a strong, beautiful, creative, loving girl who is always wanting to learn new things. Not only do you want to learn new things...you want to perfect them! I love that you want me to play a song over and over until you know all the words. You delight in learning your Awana verses and get giddy when you show Mommy a craft you've made. You make your Mommy proud!
Your love of life is an inspiration and a reminder to always appreciate everything...no matter how insignificant it may seem. You truly have a huge heart! I love when you tell me something I did "makes your heart happy" or "I'm so proud of you" (even if you tell me that in the Target public restroom as I pee! I love hearing that Joe Bubba is your "best friend cousin", that "Micah-Man is perfect" and Bubba Doo is your "very handsome best boy"! You love your friends so much and look forward to every time you get to spend with them.
Times with you aren't always so easy! You are so loving, but you've also got a pretty ornery side to you ( not sure where that comes from!). But even when things are difficult with you...it's usually pretty entertaining. Examples: "You are the Mommy and I am the daughter that talks mean", "Fine! Then I'll never get to play toys again.", or my most recent favorite..." Well Mommy, sometimes life's not fair." Well said kid.
You are feisty, sarcastic and quite frankly you crack me up daily. You go straight from playing dolls and princesses to playing ninja and pirates...and I wouldn't have it any other way! You are one in a million! But whether you are cuddly, grumpy, sassy or happy...I LOVE YOU! In fact, as we say... " I love you to the moon and back!"
As our favorite book puts it...
"I am your parent; you are my child.
I am your quiet place; you are my wild.
I am your calm face; you are my giggle.
I am your wait; you are my wiggle.
I am your water wings; you are my deep.
I am your open arms; you are my running leap.
I am your dinner; you are my chocolate cake.
I am your bedtime; you are my wide awake.
I am your finish line; you are my race.
I am your praying hands; you are my saying grace.
I am your lullaby; you are my peekaboo.
I am your goodnight kiss; you are my I love you!"
Thank you for bringing something so special to our family. We wouldn't be the same without you and we love you more than you could possibly know! Happy 3rd Birthday Princess!!!
Love,
Your Mommy
