Today, you turn 5......FIVE!!!!! I cannot believe how grown up you have become. It seems just yesterday I was bringing you home from the hospital, not having a clue as to what I was supposed to do, but you made it so easy for us to love you. Your sweet smiles, your tight hugs, your stories that you love to tell me....i love all of it. You are so beautiful inside and out. You are always wanting to help out. I love how you are constantly humming throughout the day. It has become such a happy part of my life. You are such a good helper to your brother, always showing him the ropes, and I know he loves you with all his heart. He always asks for you when you are not around! These past five years have been so wonderful. I look back and smile as I think of all the fun memories we have made with you. They have gone by WAY too fast. Somedays, I wish I could have them back. Have you in my arms 24/7, snot on my shirt, and have you depending solely on me. I want to shelter you forever. I know this is rediculous, and I need to let you grow into the amazing person you will become, but I can dream..
You are starting Kindergarten next month *gasp..*, and I know you will love it. You will have so many friends to play with! You will discover so many new things(some I don't even want to think about you knowing). I am excited to get to know the Elle you will be blossoming into. I love you more than you could ever know, and know that I will always and forever be there for you throughout all the obstacles in your life. You are the best girl a mother could ever ask for!
Love always, Your Mama
