Day 62

A letter to my daughter:

Dear Lucy Lu,

Oh my little angel how much you have changed in the last two years. Every day I am amazed by you. Your smiles in the morning brighten every day and help me begin them on a happier note just because I get to spend it with you.

I realized today just how fast you are growing up. It feels like only yesterday I was holding you in my arms, infatuated with your tiny fingers, little bow lips and soft baby smell. Now when I hold you in my arms you squirm to get down, saying "Mommy WALK!" in your little toddler voice. The only time you like to "caw-del" (cuddle) with me is in the mornings after breakfast and before bed when we read your books. We read the same three books every night: Five little monkeys play hide and seek, Curious George and Princess Baby. You've started reading them along with me...its so beautiful and I wish Daddy could hear you.

Every night after books is my favorite time with you. We talk about your day and you tell me your favorite part. It usually involves playing with a friend or talking to Daddy on the "puter". I can't believe how well you remember things now. Then we talk about what we might do tomorrow. Almost every night you ask me if we are going to play with friends tomorrow. Its so sweet how much you love them all.

Before I leave the room every night, you give me a kiss and little squeeze around the neck. Then you roll over and kiss your Daddy pillow saying "Dada! MUAHHHH!" I always leave your room with a smile....

Baby girl, I love you so very, very much.

I love you more then all the flowers in the world....

~Mommy
