today you turned 3...while, you will ALWAYS be my baby girl, I am now realizing that you are no longer my 'baby.' You are turning in to a very sweet and precious little girl! You are more than I could have ever dreamed about. You are funny, sweet, helpful, very entertaining, dramatic, attitudinal, bossy, snuggly, polite, thoughtful, loving, intelligent, energetic, independent, stubborn, opinionated, my mini me and soooooo much more! You make me laugh, cry, want to throw things, want to change our world so that it is better for you when you get older, make me want to eradicate bullies, make me want to live longer, make me realize that there is ALWAYS a bigger picture (which is you and Liam), test my patience, make me stick to what I say (even if sometimes I don't want to), make me want the best life possible for us a family, make me want to give you everything but then not too much of it and you have taught me how to love outside of myself and for someone else! You are my world and will always be.
I can remember this day, 3 years ago, like it was yesterday. I remember details that I never thought I would. I remember exactly how I felt when I saw you, when they took you away, when we visited you in the NICU and when I first got to hold you! I will always remember that day, whether you want to hear all the details or not ;)
And while you turned 3 today, I reflected on the past 3 years and what it has meant to me, to your father and to us as a family and it was an amazing reflection! You are what made us a family. I have so many fond memories of stories, expressions you made/make, outfits that you picked out to wear, drawings, sayings, play dates, birthday parties, vacations and holidays. One day I will tell them to you when you are older or you can read about them in your journals I have kept!
Yes, it has only been 3 years, but they have been the most fulfilling 3 years that my world, heart and soul have known. You are more than precious to me. I will ALWAYS be there for you. I am your biggest fan, supporter and advocate. I love you more than I can tell you or show you and I wish you more happiness than the happiest person in the world!
Happy birthday my sweet girl. I know you won't remember much from this day, but I will remember it all :)
I love you,
Mommy!
