A Letter to My Daughter

To my beautiful three-year-old little girl,

I can hardly believe you are three.  More so, I can hardly believe I am a mother to a three-year-old.  (When did I go and become an adult?!)  You are wise beyond your years and have seemingly been a little girl since you started walking.  But this milestone seals the deal.  You’ll always be my baby girl, my first born.  But now you’re really a girl.  You live in a fantasy land most of your day, talking amongst yourself and your miniature toys and you live to “spin” and wear “princesesses” dresses.  Your imagination rivals your daddy’s and your independence is bursting at the seams with every passing day.

As the saying goes, the days are long but the years are short.  You are so strong-willed and my patience wears thin with you more easily these days.  Sometimes I blink and I’m arguing with a miniature 13-year old and I’m terrified of the future…but then you flash me your most coy smile and my frustration melts away.  You are the perfect blend of your dad and I and you keep us laughing and on our toes every day. I am so incredibly proud to call you mine.

Love,

Mom
