Happy 4th Birthday Remi

Dear Remington Jane,

Four years babe!  How did that happen?!  Just the other day you cried to me, "I wish I could still be a baby."  You were so distraught.  And I get it.  Your favorite thing in all the world is to snuggle with me or Rowan, or preferably both of us.  And you could do that all day long.  You're such a little lover, still!  Just like you were as a tiny thing.  You love your Mama fiercely and are full of "thank yous", "your welcomes," and "I love you around the world and never come backs."  My favorite is when you ask me to wipe your bum and I say, "coming" and you say, "Your welcome."  in the most polite little voice.  :) As sweet as you are, you're full of an equal portion of spice.  SO MUCH SPICE. If you've been crossed, or feel crossed in anyway you get a little ragey.  You've got a scream that can pierce an ear drum!  This usually stems from your very tender heart.  You've gotten better at explaining, "this makes me feel sad when you do this" which is a hard thing to do.  I'm proud of you.  You love your brothers and they love you.  Your Daddy loves when he gets Remi snuggles, and Rowan is still your bestest bestie.  If only she'd let you play with her neck more! 

Highlights from this year:

  • Ashlynn Welly Wisher for Halloween
  • Went to New York for your first time
  • Went the American Girl store and had tea and brunch with Mom and sissy
  • Learned to write your name
  • Know all your letters and sounds
  • Went to Sunbeams for the first time all by yourself! Even though you still wish some days that you could sneak into Rowan's class.
  • First Salon haircut 
You love fiercely and infuse our home with overflowing amounts of joy and fun.  We love you Remington Jane, and you will ALWAYS, ALWAYS be Mommy's little girl.  My baby forever. 

Mom and Dad love you.

Love, Mama.

Happy 4th Birthday Rowan

Dear Rowan Adele,

It's been a couple months since you had your birthday but life has been busy so I'm JUST now getting to writing you your birthday letter!  Four years of Rowan!  I can't believe it.  The time has flown girl.  We just love you and all that you are! 

Highlights from the last year: 

  • Wonder Woman for Halloween
  • learned to write your name
  • know all your letters and sounds
  • Went to New York for the first time
  • Went to the American Girl store and had tea and brunch with Mom and sister. 
  • Went to Sunbeams for your first time, in a class all by yourself!  
  • First Salon haircut and style. 
You're so much fun.  The brother's get the biggest kick out of you and think you're so cute. You sure love them.  You and Remi are still the best of friends, even if you do still pull each other's hair every other day. You love sports and can't wait to play basketball and soccer some day. You're an emotional little thing and when you're tired or hungry it's hard to get you to do anything but cry. :) . You love your blankie and your thumb and I often find you in all random spots of the house curled up on the floor with blankie to your nose, and sucking your thumb.  

You carry with you a sense of peace.  Often I watch you bring peace to others or to our home.  You lighten the mood, cheer up your loved ones, or problem solve to make others happy.  I love this about you.  You're strong and beautiful and kind.  You love your Mom and Dad and give us lots of huggies and bejios.  I can't wait to watch how much you grow this next year.  What else will you discover, what else will you do?  I can't wait to see it all.  

Daddy and I love you so much Rowy girl.  You will ALWAYS be our sweet, snuggly, baby. 

Love,
Mama
