Little but mighty #7

Dear PJ,

Your Grandfather and I were sitting on a bench last week watching you and your brothers play.  He said to me, “Wow, she is so big for five.”  I said, “Well, she is big for five, because she is 7!”  And then we both sat, talking about how on earth it could be that you are going to be seven.

And again, in a blur we are turning the page on another year.

This year, you have actually gotten a little bit taller.  You have gotten bunches cuter, having lost 7 teeth almost all at the same time just makes you even more beautiful.   You have gotten incredibly funny, so much so that now your teachers are keenly aware of your antics and let us know about it.  And just yesterday, one of your classmates stopped me to ask if I was the mom of “that really funny girl.”

This year, you have found some bumps in the road with school but you have shown us that you can hunker down, try even harder and come through the other side even stronger and with more confidence.  You like doing well, you like seeing 100% at the top of  your work each day and you are willing to work hard to get there.  You have a little bit of driven in your belly, fancy that.

This year, you have once again won my heart.  On our first ever Mother – Daughter day I relished our time spent together.  It’s not often that it is just you and I, there is usually a boy hang’n around.  I feel so lucky to have you as a daughter and to be able to share special time with just you.

You make me think, you make me laugh, you make me thankful that I am blessed with such a wonderful child.

I can only imagine the dragons you will slay this year and most of all, I can’t wait to watch.

Happy 7th birthday!

I love you girl.

Love,

Mom
