Beautiful

Becca,

I had such a wonderful time with you this weekend. It's like the more time we spend together the I learn about your beautiful personality. You've grown so much. I look at you... then blink my eyes once, twice even and can hardly believe see.

Now as I just stare in awe at your forming of friendships... It gives me such a great opportunity to get a sense of who you really are. That you are kind, sympathetic towards feelings, comforting, happy, social with a great sense of humor.

I love that you can just walk up to another child and open yourself to a brand new friendship in a matter of minutes. An innocence we can all learn from.

Free of judgement, and color blind to differences. The strings of my heart have been pulled.

Love you forever

Tonight I read to you one of my childhood favorites. It's called 'Love you Forever' by Robert Munsch. It was such a beautiful story, and a cherished moment between us that maybe now you don't quite understand, but hopefully will remember. Now that I am a mother the story carried a whole new meaning. Meaning that brought tears to my eyes as I read:

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be.

Love Always,

Mom

I wish that I could embrace every minute of the day, and imprint each moment in more than just words or photographs. I want to remember the sound of your voice and the excitement that brings that beautiful smile, stretched wide from ear to ear to your face. Your laughter, and your incredible sense of humor. I want to remember the sound of your tiny footsteps pattering into our bedroom to let us know that the sun is up and it's time to wake up.

I can hardly believe how fast you are growing and how quickly you learn new and exciting skills that never seize to amaze me. These last few weeks have certainly been challenging, as I step back and watch my little girl become more independent, and less dependent on me. 'I want to do it' you say. And so I let you do just that.

'Leave my privacy alone' is basically what you say when you want to be alone or don't want any help.

So more than anything else I am trying my best to be more patient & understanding as you grow into your own person with your own unique personality. As grown up as you may feel now, your still my baby girl.

Love always,

Mom
