Well, it was a few weeks ago, but I have always wanted to write letters to my kids at or around each of their birthdays. This blog was a great way to do that last year, so I think I will continue, even though it is late this time.
Dear Hannah,
Happy 3rd Birthday! You are a beautiful young lady and I am so proud of you! There is so much you have done in this past year, and so many ways you have grown. Sometimes I can't believe how grown up you already are. Parts of me want for you to remain young, but parts of me are so happy and excited for you with each and every new thing you discover.
This year has been filled with some wonderful moments, we welcomed your little sister, Claire, into our family in June. We lived much of the year in Paso Robles and spent lots of time at Pismo Beach, at the Children's Museum, and traveling back to Clovis to stay with your Nanny and Poppi. You took a Mom and Me preschool class, and spent lots of time reading Berenstain Bears books. You have mastered reciting the alphabet, can count to 25, and have learned the locations of about 15 landmarks. Your Daddy and I can't wait to see the new things you will learn this coming year!
In the past year you have learned to use the potty, and are so good at telling me when you need to go. You have started doing some chores, like taking your plate to the kitchen when you are done eating. You have also tried hard to learn how to be a big sister, not an easy task!
You are a very cautious girl. It takes you a few minutes to warm up to situations, but this is a wonderful personality trait! It is good to think before you act, and I pray that this will be a blessing for you in the coming years.
I love talking with you. You have wonderful ideas, and I hope that you little mind never stops hungering to learn. You display an understanding of so many concepts, it truly blows us all away. I am looking forward to sharing more and more answers to your questions in the coming years. It is amazing to see your mind work.
I love you Hannah. I pray for so many things in your life. I pray for your future and for you little mind right now. I pray for your continued health. I pray for my patience as a Mother. I don't want to look back and wish I had spent more time with you. These days are so precious to me, and I hope you can remember the wonderful times we share.
Happy, happy birthday! Thak you for being an AMAZING daughter!
Love,
Mommy
