She is almost 4. Thursday is her birthday and she is SO excited. I am excited for her, and a little scared too. I feel like I may be losing my baby. This birthday seems huge to me. She is so grown up and is becoming her own person. She’s funny, smart, defiant, and independent. She is SO beautiful. I am so thankful for her and love her more than words can express.
Layla,
You are our princess, our first baby, and you have half our hearts. You are everything I wanted you to be and SO much more. When you tell me stories true and make believe, when I catch you playing counting games all on your own, when you kiss and hug your brother telling him you love him and I know you mean it with your whole heart, my heart swells. In those moments I could never be happier. You have given us all so much joy and I thank God every day that he gave you to us.
We love you little Bug!
<3 Mommy
