Today you are six years old! I can't believe it (I know, I say that every year). You are growing so fast. I think you become more smart and more beautiful every day. You are my super special girl.
We have spent the past few months turning your world upside down and slowly building a new one. It has been hard on all of us, but you, my Lainy girl, have made it easier. Especially for Mommy and Leah. You play with Leah all day long. You read books to her and Sam. You make up fun games. You help Leah when Mom is busy with the baby. Your excitement about things, big and small, helps our cautious Leah get excited too. In many ways, you are a saving grace in our family.
Next week you start First Grade. Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do without you. Forget about how much you help me, I am having a hard time with the fact that you will be spending most of the day away from me. For the past six years you have been my little buddy at home. It's a little bit scary to send you out all on your own! I wish I could be a little angel on your shoulder and follow you around all day. I wish I could see you make friends and impress your teachers. It makes my heart ache a little bit. I will miss you terribly. But I know that you are anxious to go. I think you will love it.
And I will always be here, ready to chat about everything you do and learn. I'll give you hugs when you need them. You can count on me to always tell you how smart, and beautiful, and talented, and wonderful, and amazing, and special you are. Because you really, really are.
I love you, sweet girl. I am so blessed to be your mother.
Happy Birthday!
Love,
Mom
