To my sweet Little Lady -
Today is your last day as a two year old. I can hardly believe that it was three years ago today that I entered the doors of that hospital as an anxious, childless women and left as a mother with so much to be taught. And taught me you have. You are still teaching me, every single day. Teaching me patience. Teaching me how much pride I have in you. Teaching me how the love I have for you grows every single moment. Did I mention teaching me patience? You are turning into a mini-me. More than just starting to look like me, you have my personality and with that comes my attitude. I know you were sent here to teach me everything I put my mom through. And even though that feisty-ness gets you into trouble and gives me a run for the money, I love your feisty-ness. I hope that you take it and you run with it your entire life. Don't take any guff from anyone and take it to open doors that may not have been open to you with out it.
Two was a huge year for you. You went from never being without Mommy to going to school once a week. You thrived. You loved it. You loved making new friends and you loved learning new things. You loved the songs you learned at school. Your favorite one was "Zooming Down The Highway."
You became a big sister. You are a great big sister. I will never forget the first time that you held your new baby sister. It was the day she came home from the hospital and the joy on your face was priceless. And that moment will stay with me forever. The moment my heart multiplied, again. You were so proud, and I was so proud of you.
You are having a My Little Pony birthday party and while you do love ponies, your true love in life right now is DINOS. Dinosaur Train is your very favorite show. You know species of dinos that I never knew existed, again teaching me. Your favorite color (today) is blue and your favorite dino (today) is apatosaurus. You love to be outside and I have to bribe you to come in. You can spend your entire day wrapped up in taking care of your toys outside - swinging them, bouncing with them on the tramponline. You love to each lunch outside and most times I catch you sharing it with Diego. And Diego. You love him. You love him fiercely. He is probably your very best friend.
Yes, my Little Lady. You are wonderful. You are everything I hoped you would be and more. I love you more than words could ever say. Happy Birthday my girl I look forward to every thing this next year has in store for us.
Love Forever and Ever and to Infinity and Beyond-
Mommy
