Older, but still my baby, A.R.(B)

My dearest A,
You have always been my favorite. You are hilarious, gorgeous, and so kind. You give the best hugs and kisses, and I love you to the moon and back, twice!

You are so creative. I am so glad that you love to learn and do your homework. I love looking over your work to see what you are learning everyday. You are so artistic, and have great Ideas. I love that you choose water or milk over juice. I love that you would rather eat apples from McD's than fries. I love that you love your veggies, especially corn and broccoli with cheese. I love how you love your baby sister. I appreciate you and how you are more than happy to help me with her.

I hope that you grow up knowing how much your dad and I love you. I hope you know we are trying our best to raise you to be an honest, hardworking, kind, loving woman. With good morals, love in your heart, strong will, and compassion for others.

I hope you grow up knowing that your little brother and sister love you. They look up to you, and look for your guidance. I know that is a lot of responsibility right now, but we love you for it. You are so responsible at only 5yrs already! You know right from wrong, you have empathy for others, and you love animals. You have a ton of stuffed animals, and you take care of them like they are real. Someday, you will be a very good pet owner. Just not anytime soon, because I have animals :-)

I appreciate you and everything you do for me. You help me so much with baby A. I know she really loves you and sometimes would rather be with you than me.

A, I love you so much! And I hope you always remember that. Especially when you hate me. We have some rough years ahead of us, but please, always remember that your are my favorite, and I love you a lot!

Love,
Mommy
