Dear Daughter
I peak into your room and watch as you sit at that little pink vanity your Nanny bought you for Christmas. You look at yourself in the mirror as you fix your hair and put on that fashion jewelry. Sometimes you want to add a little eye shadow and lipstick just for fun. You are growing up so fast. I know you dream of someday becoming a mom and I already know you will be a great one. But right now you are only 6 years old and I beg you not to grow up so fast. Young girls and teenagers want to grow up fast but I assure you that time will come when you will be an adult. Once you are an adult that's it, you will always be an adult. Enjoy these childhood years because they go by fast.
I love that you are such a girly girl. You love wearing skirts and dresses, your favorite colors are pink and purple and you like all the Disney princesses. I have enjoyed watching you twirl around and dance since the time you learned how to walk. I was excited to enroll you in dance classes and I can't believe you are in the middle of your third year. You are so graceful and flexible.
I know you are smaller than most girls your age and that bothers you. You hate when people call you short and I understand that. But don't let that bother you. Do not let your height define you and do not let other people's opinions get you down. God made you who you are and in His eyes you are perfect ... and Daddy and I think you are pretty great too.
You have a sensitive soul and take everything to heart. Be strong, my girl. This world is tough. No matter what you go through in life and whatever obstacles you may cross just know that I am always here for you. Also, never give up on your faith in God. He is the One who can give you the strength to accomplish everything you were made to be.
I miss holding your tiny baby body in my arms but I love watching as you grow. You are the perfect completion to this family and I am so proud of you.
I love you!
Mommy
