Growing

Dear: Lil Miss

You have grown up so much this year. Your first school year is over. You had such a bad start to the year, getting knocked over on the playground on your second day scared you to death. I think you are the very first kid to NOT like recess. But we were so blessed that I was driving bus this year, and we were also so blessed that you had such an amazing teacher. I was able to be there with you during this crappy time to transition. We got it figured out and you started to love school in December. Phew....

You can write your name, its so sweet to see you sit down and want to learn your letters and sounds.

You love to ride your bike

You have excelled in swimming lessons This too you were afraid of. You went from crying and not participating to jumping in and getting your face wet. ( something you hated! ) Next time around you are going to kick butt!!! because...

You now LOVE swimming, You are jumping in the pool with NO life jacket. ( in the shallow end ) and jumping off the diving board. You are even jumping off the dock at the cottage and off the boat.

You are still so sweet, and you love to love!! You love touching mommas skin and cuddling. 

You love to sit and talk about your future...Who you are going to marry and how many kids you are going to have. it so much fun.

You love to go shopping and going for coffee with me. Even though you are only 5 1/2 you are so much fun.

Love you Boo!

I felt the tap on my lower back. I turned to see my sweet blue eyed beauty smiling with her head turned to its side. Momma, I am gonna miss you too. How did she know?? My back was turned. The tears that were sitting on the ledge, dropped and I grabbed ahold of her and reassured that Today was going to be a GREAT day. I was trying to reassure myself as well. She kept giving me kisses and hugs and I sent her on her way to get ready for bed. Her little red curls bouncing.
I turned back to pack the little Pink Hello Kitty lunch bag. And continued to let the tears flow. I am so blessed to have such a sweet little girl. One who is so in tuned to others feelings.
Who knew that sending your baby to JK would be so hard? She was fine. She was more than fine. She stepped in line and marched right in. Just like her brother did on his first day. I would have it no other way.
Hold your head high sweet Chloe. Be kind and gentle and loving and understanding. Learn lots, Have many laughs. Make lifelong friends and be a light. I love you all the way to moon and back!

My Lil Miss

Dear: Daughter
You were such a good baby, so quit and non-demanding.
Your hair is so pretty, I just can't cut it.
You are so petite.
You have a million facial expressions and use them daily.
You are dramatic and entertaining.
You light a room when you enter.
You are very girlie. You love dresses and pretending you’re a ballerina.
You love boy shows. Like Backugan and star wars.
You love your brother, even though you bite him.
You like having your toes painted to match mine.
You always say you "I love you" and you are very affectionate.
You independent. Yet you like us to do things for you.
You were fully toilet trained within 2 days. Even through the night.
Your blue eyes, sweet smile and adorable personality melts my heart.
You would be lost without your favourite little blankie and your thumb.
You love, love, love babies.
You love puzzles.
You are good at sharing...just not with your brother.
You want to marry your brothers best friend, Tie. And you kiss and hug and chase him every time you see him and have done so since you were 2 1/2.
You love your Grandma and papa. And you call Grandma "mom" it is sweet that you love her so much.
You sleep like a starfish and snore. You look so peaceful and secure. For that I feel blessed.
I love you lil miss.
Love, mom
