Happy Birthday, Little Princess!

I love the way you work so hard at your reading.

I love the stories you write down in your best handwriting.

I love your honesty and the way you don't hesitate to share your opinion, but also how you freely apologise when you see any errors you might have made.

I love how much you love your friends, and your ability to make friends with children and adults of all ages.

I love your determination and independence.

I love how you are able to try out new things, yet still enjoy some of the presents you had for your second birthday, the first birthday you shared with us.

I love how you find ways to include your sister in everything, just as your school friends dance around finding ways to include you in every way.

I love your arms around my neck, your body snuggled close to mine, your breath whispering loving nothings into my ears day after day after day.

I love you, my beautiful fairy princess birthday girl!
