....three.....

.....it was three years ago today, on November 24, 2007 at 1:05 am that I became a mother.....in a split second all of my priorities in life were completely rearranged and I fell head over heels in love with this tiny baby that would change my heart, capture my soul and turn me into a better person because of the way I learned to love.....God gave me a miracle when I was at a point in life when He knew I needed this little being that would turn my world upside down.....

.....and today, you are three......

......we have enjoyed every minute of you.....it has been an honor and an exciting gift to watch your personality unfold.....the way you love to dance, the way you love to use your vivid imagination, the stories you tell us, the time you take to appreciate and enjoy being outside, the way you love your Mommy and Daddy time; one on one and together, and the way that you are endeared and fiercely protective of your sister, your sidekick, your best friend.....

.....this year, you evolved from our curious toddler.....

......to our bold, assertive little girl who knows exactly what she wants.....

.....who does everything with zeal, passion and enthusiasm.....

.....you are our girl who is independent, unique in your own way and blazes the trail for others to follow.....

.....you are more than I ever dreamed of when I imagined what life would be like with a daughter.....and this next year I look forward to enjoying the happy, spirited child that you are.....my prayers are to give you more than you need as a mother, so that you whole heartedly know how loved, adored and cherished you are.....

......Happy Birthday, sweet girl.....

......I have had the best three years of my life being your Momma.....
