Dear Little Missy-
Today you are four. It seems as if you’ve been four for a while with how grown-up you act for your age. At this age you are loving and spunky and passionate and a delight to be around. Here are some of the things I love most about you:
- How much you love others. The way you scream and run to your Daddy when he gets home from work; the way you shared your beloved puppy toy–that you bought with your birthday money–with G, and encouraged him with ”Yeah, that’s cool G!” when he showed you his handiwork; the way you run to kiss Baby Chickadee whenever she enters a room or you find her; the way you snuggle next to me when we read Bible stories before bed.
- I love how much you love puppies. Right now it is puppy EVERYTHING. At home, at the park, at the McDonald’s PlayPlace you always want to “play puppy” and crawl around like a puppy, bark like a puppy, pant like a puppy. Your Daddy and I can’t help but smile when we watch you in action.
- You love to help–you help me make pancakes, you help G by bringing his drink to him, you bring Baby Chickadee her pacifier, you get toys for your friends. Keep this up, little one. It is a great attribute.
- Mostly I just love YOU for being YOU. All your little bits of silliness, your loveliness and happiness are all YOU. Wonderful and perfect.
