Dear Addi,
You turned 2 1/2 a few weeks ago. As always, I cannot believe how fast the time flies!
You are becoming more independent everyday. I am so proud watching you "let me help myself" as you say, but it hurts a little bit. Before I had a child, I had NO clue how bittersweet it would be to watch my children grow. Grow you must, though...and you are doing a great job at it!
Sometimes (actually more like ALL the time) I worry that I am not the example I should be for you. I realize that your beautiful eyes are watching me. You will do something that I do and say, "Look, like Mommy does!" So far it's been about good things, but it scares me to think I may do something that isn't so great and that you will copy me. Every day I strive to be better than the day before. You have no idea now, but you make me want to be a better person. In case I forget to tell you this when you're thirty, please let me take the time now to tell you, THANK YOU!!! Thank you for making me a better person!
Thank you for being the loving, sweet, silly, funny, adorable, amazing, smart, caring, beautiful, incredible little girl that you are! Mommy loves you so much and you are my most favorite girl!!! :)
Oh, and thank you for making potty training so easy! Your daddy and I are loving the money we are saving on diapers! :)
A kiss and a hug and a lot of love from your adoring mommy!
