Oh, my heart.
My first-born, my baby girl is SEVEN today and more than half-way through her 1st grade year. Everyone told me how much faster life flies by when your kids get in "real school" - and boy, were they right! Didn't she just start kindergarten last week?
Kaitlyn Brooke,
I can't believe it was 7 years ago today that i first got to meet your sweet face. It was one of my favorite memories and will forever be etched in my heart. You came into this world at 42 weeks... meaning you were 2 weeks late! You took your sweet time getting here... that was you then, and that is you today. You march to the beat of your own drum. You take your time doing everything, you ALWAYS finish what you start, and if you have a hard time understanding something - you will sit there and practice until you get it. Your attention span is that of an adult! You pretty much taught yourself to read - and unless you absolutely need help, you try hard to do things all by yourself. And that, is a wonderful trait. I can't wait to see all of the things you accomplish in life with your hard work and determination!
This past year has definitely been a year of change. The ending of Kindergarten, moving (not once, but twice!!), and beginning your 1st grade year! You are doing wonderful in school - the amount of things you have learned already this year has blown me away! You love to read - you read in the car while mommy drives, in bed before you go to sleep, and even just 'for fun' on the couch! You just started taking piano lessons, and with only 3 lessons under your belt - you have taken off! I think you love music as much as mommy! :)
You also love to watch movies, paint your nails, go to the arcade, play games, draw 'fashion outfits' and just color in general, play hours and hours (and hours) of barbies, sing songs at the top of your lungs and dance, hula hoop, and make things (bracelets, magnets for my refrigerator, potholders with your loom kit, etc).
To try and put into words how much Mommy loves you... it's just not possible. When the Lord gave you to me - He gave me one of life's most precious gifts. I can't imagine life without you in it.
I pray that the Lord will continue to soften your heart towards Him. I pray that He continues to protect and keep you close and that He will allow us to share many more birthdays with you!
You, my sweet girl, are fearfully and wonderfully made. Only Jesus could love you more!
~Mommy.
