Brooklynn is 3!!

Dear Brooklynn,
So you turned 3 this last week. And boy it seem slike it has gone quickly. You have taught me more in 3 years than anybody ever has. You are so strong, fun loving, and excited about everything. You have achieved so much this last year. When you turned 2, you had a rough time with your communication, and now you are saying 3-4 word sentences. You are enjoying playing with your sister and cousins. You love to get dressed up in beautiful outfits, you love to twirl in dresses, you enjoy getting make up from your sister an dlooking "petty". You are such a strong little girl.

Your laugh is infectious. Your smile is amazing. When you see me or your daddy, you always come running to us and are so excited. You love to wrap your arms around our necks and squeeze tight. Sometimes, you just want us to hold you for a couple of minutes like that. You are strong willed - you don't do anything you don't want to.

You are learning how to do puzzles, we are working on your colors (but your favorite color is "yeyow" - anything is yellow to you :). You enjoy playing with Barbies, princesses, legos, and dress up. You look up to your sister, and try to follow everything she does. Your older sister adores you, and tries to take care of you. She is your second mother. You enjoy going to both sets of grandparents house. Your best friends are your sister and cousins. You love looking at books (but you hate for me to read to you). You enjoy pointing to the pictures and saying the words out loud.

I love everything about you. Even your tantrums where you throw yourself on the ground, and don't move, are adorable to me. You love to grab our faces and whisper in our ears.

Thank you for all you have taught me in your short 3 years. You have through so many doctors appointments, tests, and labs, and yet you still are the happiest child I know. You take everything in stride, and are always a laid back child.

I love you forever, mostest 'ostest, and from here to the moon,
your mom.
