Sweet Lil’ Girl

Dear Gracie,

It is only a few more weeks until you are going to be turning 3.  Time just keeps flying by!  The next thing I will know is that you will be telling me about a new boy at school or that we need to go buy you make up.  Right now, those things seem worlds away, but in reality those events are just right around the corner. 

These days you are a whirlwind of giggles, chatter, and happiness.  You are constantly on the go.  Gone are the days where you would sit quietly enjoying your toys, now there are noises everywhere.  You still like to cuddle, but not for the long moments you used to just a couple of months ago.  It seems like my cuddle bug only appears on evenings where I let you stay up late.

You are a smart little girl who can already count to 20 with out skipping a single number, knows a number of rhymes and silly songs, and has an imagination filled with princesses and babies.  You love to talk and tell stories.  Playing outside or at the park is your favorite thing to do.  You love books, singing, music, and dancing.

I am so proud of you.  You are a very delightful little girl.  Mommy and Daddy love you very much.  You have been a joy over the last (almost) three years.  We can’t wait to see what the years to come bring!  Happy Almost Birthday Gracie!  We love you!
