I can't believe it's been 3 years since you came into my life. I was sooo scared when I found out I was pregnant, even though I wanted you so very badly. When you were born, the world suddenly made sense in a way it never did before. I was put on this earth to be your mother. I believe that with all my heart. And I am truly blessed to have you as a daughter.
You were so so small when I first met you and I was sure I was going to screw you up for life.
You were a colicky and sick baby which made for a pretty miserable 6 months for the both of us. But I got the hang of it and soon I couldn't remember what it was like to not be a mother. Once you started to feel better, you were such a happy baby. You were always smiling and laughing and making us smile and laugh.
Before we knew it, you were growing up to be a very beautiful toddler. Strangers would stop us on the street to compliment us on your beautiful eyes and your long shiny hair. You blew people away with your advanced vocabulary and your ability to take in everything around you. We knew you were special.
You were an amazing 2 year old. I couldn't figure out what the "terrible twos" even were. You were sweet and agreeable. You would just go with the flow. Wear what I wanted you to wear, let me brush your hair. Go where we wanted you to go.
Man, I miss those days! You are a very independent 3 year old and you are definitely keeping me on my toes. But I still feel blessed and proud. I want to raise a strong woman, the way my mother raised me. I see that in you already and I look forward to watching you learn and grow and blossom into an amazing person. You already are an amazing person and I thank God every day that I know you.
Thanks for humoring me if you've read the mushy letter to my daughter above. Her birthday party is this Saturday and I will be sure to post some pics!
