S.I.X.

group shot edited-16

There are certain things I don’t ever want to forget. I wish that I could keep you a 5 year old forever. You have a very special little heart and I don’t want it to ever change. When we told you that we were going to pick you up from school on your birthday and take you out for a special birthday lunch – just us – you immediately said you wanted Emma to come too because you didn’t want her to be left out. You said you loved her. You are the greatest big sister in the history of big sisters. You’ve never lost your patience with her. You wake her up every morning and help put her to bed every night. One day she will realize just how lucky she is to have you. But you’re not just a great sister.. you are also a wonderful friend who often coordinates play dates with or without my knowledge. You’re creative and funny. You’re incredibly smart. You’re beautiful. There are so many things I could say about you. I could break the internet kid. So I’ll just say that your birthday is the happiest day of my life. & I love you to the moon and Jupiter and back.
