Eight years ago, you made me a mommy for the first time.
Seven years ago, you stood up on your own – and I was so thankful!
Six years ago, you loved eating crushed ice from a plastic cup while sitting in a cabinet.
Five years ago, you became the best big sister I know (and you still are).
Four years ago, you embraced school with enthusiasm.
Three years ago, you mastered the swimming pool and the two-wheeler bike with courage.
Two years ago, you really learned to read on your own – and you haven’t stopped since.
One year ago, you were selected as a leader among your peers, and you handled it with grace.
Next year, I’m excited to see what you’ve done next!
