Ballet, Tutus and Spunk

You are blossoming into your own self determined person. It has been amazing watching you create your own path. Your father and I want to nurture your individuality as you have an awesome personality. You have decided to start ballet, you love wearing tutus and tights, you want to be a princess and you want to be in charge. You have a heart of gold, which we see daily through your hugs, kisses, gentle touches and way that interact with all those you encounter.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving where you took off your turkey hand dress and decided to wear your Cinderella dress to the table complete with earrings and high heals. It was our first Thanksgiving in our home and you had such fun with your aunt abby and grandpa. The house was peaceful and fun, which made it so very enjoyable.
We have been on baby watch, which has been hard on all of us as we don't know when baby will come and you are so excited to meet your little brother or sister. I know that it is hard that I can't lift you as much and I am quick to tears. You are going to be a wonderful big sister as you talk about all the things you will teach and share with the baby.
I know that we do not always make the best parenting choices, but we sure try and I want you to read this knowing that I love you for who you are. I love all your different emotions, creativity and determination. The challenges you bring into our family teach us all wonderful lessons and help me as a mom to look within myself and explore my past and present self. You are a true blessing. I can't wait to learn how to me a mom of 2. Thank you for making me a mom.
