Dear Girl,
In just a few hours, you will wake up. It will be your birthday, and you will have reached the ripe old age of 7. I can’t believe you are already 7. It doesn’t even seem possible. But, here you are, growing up right in front of my eyes.
In addition to today being your birthday, it is also your official stage debut. Now, you’ve performed on stage before, but this is the first time you have lines…and quite a few of them, I might add! You are the Wicked Witch of the West (and your best friend is playing the Wicked Witch of the East) in the First Grade Production of the Wizard of Oz. I can’t wait to hear your evil laugh!
You don’t know this yet, but Daddy and I bought you the cage for the mice you’ve been saving up for. I can’t wait to see your face when you open it! You also got some birthday money in the mail today. You have more than enough for your mice now, and I wonder what you’ll start saving for next.
Also, your brother bought you a rather “grown up” art set and sketch pad. We love the way you draw, Q, and I really hope that it is something that sticks with you forever. Of course, The Boy is really hoping that you’ll share your art set with him….it might be a nice thing to do.
With 1st grade coming to an end next week, I hope that I have some time to spend with you this summer. I love spending time with just you, and I’m sorry that it doesn’t happen as often as we would like. But, with summer just around the corner, I’m sure we’ll be able to steal some time together…even if it’s just cuddling in my bed in the morning.
So, Baby Girl, I hope you have a great birthday! Always remember, you are my favorite little girl!
Love,
Mom
Oh, one more thing! Thanks so much for that last 6 year old hug you gave me before bed. It will stay in my heart forever!
