It Had To Be *You*

Hey! Look who's 5!!!

Oh my dear and darling Amelie--

My firstborn

My girl child

My doppelganger

My mini-me

God just knew it had to be *you*

That you were exactly the kind of girl I needed in my life

You're my helper, my hugger, my story-teller, song-singer, dancing-dancer, sister-entertainer, errand-runner, obsessive-room-cleaner, princess-pretender, girly-girly-girl in pink.

I don't deserve such a sweet little girl--I'm so thankful that God has entrusted you to me for the time being. I pray for you everyday and am so stinkin' thankful for you.

I love you sweet girl--can you just do Mommy a favor and stay 5 forever?

xoxo, Mama
