You turned 4 today! You had an amazing "Alice in Wonderland" party. Do you remember any of it? You have talked about it for weeks now and now that it has finally come and gone, I hope that it was everything that you imagined it would be. You were so happy today. Smiling and talking and twirling. I love that you twirl when you are happy!
You ask me often, "mama, why do you love me so much?" I have different answers each time you ask...but today I love you for just being born. I know that I was not the one to carry you in my belly, and one could argue that I didn't even know that you had been born on this day 4 years ago, (however in my heart I knew...doesn't a mother always know?) yet, here we are celebrating your birth, reliving vicariously through Alice in Wonderland, and I realize as I often have, how blessed I am that I get to be your mom. It is unbelievable to me, and yet I believe with all my heart, how much you were meant to be in our family. I cannot imagine my days without you. Through grace (heaven knows I need plenty of this), laughter, joy, and tears, we are and will always be a family. Thank Goodness!
I love you Peanut!
Love Always,
XOXOXO
MOM
