There is something about six that just seems so much older. Maybe it's Kindergarten. Maybe it's those missing teeth (you have proudly lost four), but right in front of my eyes you are growing into a real big girl. And you want to! You want to be a big kid more than anything. When people tell you how old you look, you look at me and smile like you've achieved the ultimate. I tell you all the time that you should enjoy being little and you try! I'm thankful that as much as you want to be grown up, you also always want to be my baby. I promise you will! That's the fun thing about six. It's a blended age. On one hand, you're so grown and on the other, you're still so little. If you take your babies out to the store, you carry around your Starbucks hot chocolate like it is "mom coffee", but talk to your "kids" like no one is watching. It is so sweet. I love watching you.

You are so beautiful and smart. Your strong will challenges me in ways I never imagined they could when you were cooing up at me from your changing table. All of your confidence and determination make you a natural leader. You are motivated and love to learn new things. You can be very serious and like things just a certain way, but are also one of the silliest girls I know. When I think about six, I will always remember your goofy made up language and your love for knock knock jokes.
You devour books, ask great questions, write and solve your own math sentences for fun and love a good science experiment. You love art and any chance to create. Going to school is your favorite and then you come home from school each day to start playing school downstairs. This year, you are also enjoying piano lessons with daddy and dance class!
You are a great big sister. Your little sisters adore you and I'm so thankful for all of your help. Like a little mommy, you are always right there asking me to hold Juliet or help change her diaper. Ella counts down the minutes until you are home from school and looks forward to the times in school when she passes you in the hall or sits next to you in an assembly. You are her best friend. I love hearing you play mommies or school or bakery together for hours. Sometimes I have to step in to remind you that you just can't be in charge of everything, even if you do think you know better. Juliet can't stop watching you. Just yesterday, without any warning, you did something funny and she started laughing hysterically for the first time. It was her first full baby belly laugh and it was because she thinks you are so funny!

My beautiful girl, you are so special to our family. Being your mom is one of the greatest privileges of my life. I love you more than you could ever know! Here's to being six and a year of making more fun memories. You make life more sweet!
Love,
Mommy
