To My Daughter: Happy 6th Birthday!

ByCrystal

My Dearest Little Girl,

Tomorrow, you turn 6. First, however, some of my favorite pictures throughout your 5th year.

You, my love, are stunning. You’re beautiful, and your smile lights up a room. You’re inquisitive and creative, strong for your 6 years. While your brothers are content to sit around playing on their tablets, you’re outside. Always outside. Swimming, running, playing, riding your bike. A constant blur of colorful, wild motion.

You are also a feisty firecracker, which we’ve been working on keeping the explosions at a minimum. Because when you explode, everyone else quickly follows. You’re relentless when you want something, inconsolable if things don’t go your way. 5 has been a challenge, particularly the last few months. I’m excited to move on to 6. Above anything else, however, I love you. So very much.

Happy birthday, baby girl!
