A Letter to my Daughter

My sweet Princess Pea -

Today you turned 4. When did you get to be such a big girl? You're such a tiny little bit of a thing, and I thought you'd always be that size - big eyes, short little legs.

As you've grown, so has your personality. You aren't going to let anyone get in your way, are you little girl? While it may drive me mad at times, this single-minded focus and strong will of yours, its going to work in your favor when you're big. Sure, we have our moments (ok, hours). But in the end, your big heart and wide smile always melt my heart and win me back to your side, no matter how frustrated you might make me.

You love your big brother, and won't start the school day without a kiss from him. (In the cloakroom, because he's too embarrassed to kiss you in front of his mates.) Everything has to be just "pewrfect", and you won't leave the house in the morning until your shoes are in order and your toys tidied up. In your world, stripes go with stripes, and kitty rain boots go with everything.
You have the brightest smile I've seen, and it can change to a scowl and a whine faster than I can scoff back cheap wine to deal with it.

Its no wonder you want Mommy to carry you everywhere, still...you're used to being close to me

(a.k.a., "the Mommy Wubbie")

You're a mommy's girl....

You've turned the tables on your big brother, and you can give as good as you get.....

We share a love of purses and shoes....

(note the drool!)

You have your own unique sense of style....

Playful and spirited, you love dressing up...

You're simply you.



And I love you.
Happy birthday, sweet girl.
