Happy Birthday! It is not possible that you are
turning 7 years old! You really MUST
stop getting older every single year! I was looking at some old pictures the
other day and found one of you when you were about 3 and you had those adorable
curls and big blue eyes (petting the baby ducks)…You may not have curls
anymore, but you will always have amazing big blue eyes and you’ll always be
adorable. Adorable is not something you
do or how you look, it is who you are inside and how you affect others without
even trying. When you are older, you may
think being adorable is not a good thing.
It IS a good thing and don’t even try to fight it, because it’s in you
and you cannot escape it. You are adored
and always will be.
I adore your
heart…your sensitivity, empathy for others, and the ability to love
wholeheartedly. Your love is so sweet it
makes me cry happy tears. I love the way
you surprise me with loving hugs for no reason and help out without being
asked. You love Annabelle and Kyle so
much too. Sometimes I think Kyle is like
a limb to you and you feel like something’s missing when he’s not around. And Annabelle…you are so sweet with her. You light up when she plays with you. Your voice goes an octave higher when you
talk to her and you excitedly tell me everything she is doing. They both adore you, too.
I adore your
passion and excitement. You are passionate about Legos and you are excited
about baseball. When you are passionate
about something, you embrace it fully. You
are really getting into watching the Rangers on TV and you are constantly
asking questions and updating us on every play.
You will soon be going to your first Rangers game at the Ballpark. This year you chose to go to a baseball game
with just me and Daddy instead of having a birthday party with friends. You are so excited and you ask us about it
almost daily. I love that baseball is
something you are into because it’s something you can enjoy for the rest of
your life. It’s bigger than baseball…It’s
the anticipation, the ride to the ballpark and the conversation on the way, the
hot dogs and sodas, the high fives, the crowd atmosphere, learning to win, and
learning to lose, the distraction when life gets too real…it’s time spent
together and a shared interest. It’s
something you never outgrow.
I adore your
confidence and I admire you for having it.
Confidence is that indescribable sparkle that attracts people to
you. You have it. You walk into places you’ve never been with
your head held high and greet the people you meet. Situations that make others nervous or scared
don’t intimidate you.
I adore your
integrity…even when it’s difficult to tell the truth, you do. That speaks
volumes about your character. Nobody is
perfect and everybody makes mistakes.
When you acknowledge your mistakes honestly, you can learn from
them. It’s also a very mature thing to
do and makes you respectable. Daddy and
I really respect your honesty and maturity. You are dependable and trustworthy and you
make smart choices. I cannot begin to
explain how proud we are of you.
When I look at
you, I see a person who is smart, caring, happy, and honorable. You are adored. I love you more than words can express.
Love,
Mommy
