Happy Birthday! Can you believe that you are three years old today? You have been telling people that you are three for a few months now...maybe you've just been anxious to grow as big as your sister. Why do I feel like you grow so much faster than she did?
This year we discovered that you have a bit of a stubborn side. Daddy and I have to laugh in exasperation sometimes. You're not ever mean or anything. You just...tend to ignore us sometimes...and do whatever you want...no matter what we say. I wonder if anyone would believe that looking at your sweet face? I like to think that you're the perfect combination of sweet and sassy.
Yesterday as I lay down by you for nap time you put one of your little hands in mine and the other on my cheek. "I love you momma," you said sleepily. Then you closed your eyes and drifted off. I lay there watching your eyes flutter and felt like my heart might explode.
I love you, my sweet Leah-loo.
Today we will celebrate you with balloons and lots of pink. We'll eat your favorite foods and we'll stay home because that is where you like to be the most. I'm sure we'll play dress-up and play-doh and cook various delicacies in your play kitchen, all with your beautiful Belle doll in tow. These are the things you love the most right now, so we will do them and think about how special you are and how much we love you.
I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Love,
Momma
