Letter to Anyah on her 3rd Birthday





My little Ani-Bee,

You are three today. Of course if we ask you, you will tell us you are five...but you're three and it's been an amazing three years.

You are such a blessing. You are stubborn and you love to be independent and do things alone. You are loving, my cuddler who gives the biggest hugs and the most puckered up kisses. You are sassy, and awesome in ways I can't describe. Also, you are funny... The good kind of funny that fills the world with light and love. You are amazing.



Today you started swim lessons and you were so excited you ran around like a crazy person, jumping up and down and singing to yourself all day. Then you refused to go any farther in than the first step. That's what I love about you... You love the adventure and the journey of something so much that doing the actual thing sometimes isn't nearly as important.

That, and I love the way you dance. Sister you have got some epic moves...



And I love the bizarre way you pose...


And how you love to eat and cook with me...






And how you are crazy about trains, the zoo, the ocean and did I mention trains...









I love that you and your sister are crazy, vibrant, and full of love...



And I just plain love you... Just the way you are... Even when you do this...




Or this...




Because mama can always see the best parts of you which at all times and your best part is in both those pictures... It's the feelings... You're all about big feelings. You swell my heart.

Happy birthday baby.



Love,
Mommy
