Two years ago today you were the best surprise to happen into our lives. This teeny tiny peanut who didn't ask for brothers named Godzilla and BamBam, but you love them all the same. You have this amazing love/hate thing goin' on with Nate, because you're like twins, but worse, being 13 months apart. We know that when he's throwing keggers in high school, he's going to be telling you to bring all your hot friends.
You're an amazing little girl. All girly girl, but when the situation calls for it, you can grab a lightsaber and keep up with the boys no problemo. You are my constant companion, as if you know you need a second line of defense always, and I don't really mind. You are strong willed, independent-already buckling your own carseat, getting in and out of your chair at dinner, and now climbing out of the crib, and you have really just the sweetest demeanor and disposition. You are smart and funny, and you love to cuddle and be held onto and loved. Daddy and I really don't mind accomodating because you're our baby.
However, as you've learned the hard way at times, we're not about to baby you by any means. You will know right from wrong, and how to do most anything by and for yourself.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing you in your ballet leotard and slippers this fall. I'm very much looking forward to taking you to see the Nutcracker someday, and other live theater performances, and doing other mom/daughter girls' nights out. I will be your friend, but not your best friend, because I'm your mom too and I need to draw a line in order to discipline you and love you the way you need and deserve to be. I hope you make good choices in life in who your best friends will be, because without them you will be lost, just as I would be without mine.
I'm not a girly girl mommy, but I love you more than life, and I hope you know that I won't discourage purses and Barbies and funky frilly things. I do draw the line at Bratz dolls (those hydrocephalic zoned out looking slutty dolls scare me) and random body piercings though, so don't even think about it.
Your brothers adore you. Strangers think you're the cutest thing ever. Daddy and I love you and we always will.
Happy Birthday baby girl.
Love,
Mom
