on the eve of your third birthday...

little one,

i cannot comprehend the fact that in just a few short hours we welcomed you into our lives. i think about that moment i realized you were on your way, and smile because it is so indicative of who you are-always keeping us on our toes! you are so many things at once; thoughtful, loving, stubborn, precocious, imaginative, demanding, playful and you have become my best friend. i am so grateful that i get to spend time with you. you're such a great helper, always wanting to be included. at times it can be exasperating, but then i realize that i am helping to shape who you are and who you may become. such an important job has fallen on my shoulders, and i hope that i live up to your every expectation, never letting you down. although we will falter, i hope you know that i always will have the very best intentions at heart.

with this in mind, i want you to know that i will always be here for you. i love you more than you can possibly imagine, and i cannot wait to watch you grow into a beautiful, amazing person.

love, mama

  1. Daley doodles ..she likes noodles and doodles and poodles my daley doodles.. you are my little girl and we love to sing this crazy song that we make up as we go along.

    Happy Birthday! I can't believe how much you've grown. It doesn't seem possible tha you are 3 already. When I look at you there are times that I feel like I am looking at your mom when she was a little girl. You look just like her. You also have many of her attributes.
    you are kind, caring and helpful. You always want to help Apa cook or help me with whatever I am doing.

    You love to sing and you sing all day long. This year you learned several new Christmas songs with Apa. You sing the whole song Let it Snow and Hark the Herald Angels. You and Jack love to watch Charlie Brown.
    You also have an awesome imagination.. We love to watch you play with your kitchen.

    You are a determined little girl and when you have made up your mind, that's it. You aren't going to change it. We have so much fun when you come to visit and we miss you so much when you leave.
    You are very excited about your new baby brother and you are anxiously awaiting his arrival. We love you so much. You are a happy little girl with a great personality and sense of humor and you are the cutest little girl in the whole wide world.
    You love your brother and follow him everywhere, you like to play cars with him and you know all the names of the cars from the movie Cars. You call your brother Jackie and it is so sweet. He is always kind to you and he watches over you to keep you safe.

    Always remember how much we love you and never stop being my Daley Doodles. I love you like crazy cakes and to the moon and back. Hapy Happy Birthday!
    Love forever,
    Mimi
