Dancing with Cinderella

{Her actual birthday is July 19th… but we will be on vacation- so posting now}

I just want you to know…

I am so in love with your personality.  You are a happy girl and you show it.  Because of your fun-loving personality, I have learned so much sweet girl.  Life is meant to be enjoyed and thanks to you- I’ve learned to enjoy it.  What a wonderful gift you’ve given me.  You bring life with you wherever you go.  Don’t ever change that.

Hyper High-spirited is how we describe you because you do have a wonderful spirit… God has big plans for that personality of yours and I can’t wait to see what they are!

I just want you to know…

That even when your high-spirit gets the best of you and I both, I would never change you for anything.  We have our “moments”, but that is what life is all about, challenges and overcoming them.  Raising you has definitely been a challenge… but, I have never been one to back down from a challenge, especially one I love more than life itself!  Don’t let anyone take that spirit from you… just use it wisely my sweet girl ;-).  {When I am not around}

I just want you to know…

You completed kinder this year… and boy did it start off interesting.  I grew a lot as a mommy during this time.  My independent little girl was a kinder student and didn’t need me there at all.  I took you to school that first day- for my own sake… not yours.

It was a rough start {for me}.  But I survived it.  I worried.  I stressed.  Did I send you too soon?  Were you too young?  What should I do?  Your attention span was uhm… VERY limited {kinda still is ;-)}

But, in typical {Jayda} fashion you proved to me that I needed to just {chill out}… you had this kinder thing under control.  You simply continued proving our {Jayda Theory} … you do things when YOU want to do them… from potty training to kindergarten… sigh… through a lot of prayer we will survive the teen years sweet girl- A LOT of prayer!  But God has never abandoned us and He never will.  He knows we can handle each other.  It may be a bumpy road… but we will reach our destination- with His guidance- of course.

I just want you to know…

• Our memories are priceless!
• You were loved before I even held you…
• You make things MAGICAL!
• You taught me to BELIEVE again!
• You inspire me, you helped me learn that in order to love you the best I could, I needed to love myself the best I could… thank you for that.
• You are my greatest blessing.

I just want you to know…

You make me proud!  You bring me so much joy & I thank God for the privilege to be your mommy!

I just want you to know…

Being your mommy has been the most fulfilling, frustrating, exhausting, difficult, delightful, inpsiring, challenging and rewarding job I’ve been blessed with!  You are my world.

Together we will learn more, together we will love more, together we will honor our Lord & fulfill our purpose in this world.

Just know…

That I love you!

Happy 6th Birthday my sweet girl!  Thank you for being YOU.

Love you forever and for always,

Mommy
