Letters to my Girls

I have been cleaning the house and organizing things better; while I was doing this I came across a notepad with two letters in it. I decided to put them here so that I will have them later to look back on.


Dear Paige,
You are quite the three year old. Each day I am amazed at the ideas you come up with. They never seem to stop coming. Everything you talk about has something to do with "last weekend." You talk about you imaginary friends all the time, there's Birdy, Nemo and so many more.
You love you little sister; she makes you smile all the time. You can't go anywhere without her. You can't play in your room without having Elizabeth by your side.
You like to go all the time, we have to force you to stop. Even now the only reason that you are asleep is that I made you stop. Asleep in your car seat, head resting on your hand. Sitting crisscross-applesauce.
You are adorable, you are sweet, you are wonderful. I am excited to see the new things that you will come up with each day. Oh, the adventures that you will have; the things that you will do. I can't wait. Any mintute this nap will end and our adventures will begin again. HIP-HIP-HORRAY!!
Love, MOM


Dear Elizabeth,
You turned one last week. It amazes me how quickly time has been flying by. Seems like just yesterday that I found out you were coming. I love my princess.
You are an amazing girl. You have learned to talk so quickly. I am not sure how I will be able to handle a talker like you.
My only stress is that I can't make you walk. Trust me I have been trying to. No matter what I do you just want to stay close by. You enjoy walking only when someone is holding your hands.
You love your Paige. She holds your hand and you smile. She talks to you and you smile. She plays peek-a-boo with you and you laugh like crazy.
Paige loves you too. She wants to be with you all the time; if you weren't in the room with her she would be asking me to bring you to her. She loves to hold your hand and sing to you.
I have to tell you that you have a special place for your Daddy. When he comes into the room you brighten up like the sun. He is the one you want a hug from. Daddy and you seem to understand each other.
I am so proud of you. Each day you seem to be reaching for new heights. I can't believe how quickly you have been changing and growing.
Keep it up!
Love, Mom
