Dear Ella 05/19/2014

Dear Ella,

Well, it's been quite a while since I wrote you a letter!! You are now a big beautiful 3 year old!! You are completely potty trained, (except for when you're sleeping), you don't sleep with a binkie anymore, and you've been telling me you are ready for a big girl bed.  It is amazing how fast you are growing! You are SOOOOOO incredibly smart and wise beyond your years. You are still as kind and loving as ever. You make me laugh every day, and you can also still make me completely insane! You keep me on my toes and teach me lessons on how to be a better mommy. You are very excited that you are going to be a big sister this November. You say you think it's a boy names Jack, but you will still be happy if it's a girl. You have gone to a couple of ultrasounds with me and you LOVE seeing the baby!
You love spending time with your mommy and daddy. Daddy has been traveling A LOT for work, because he now works for a company in Virginia. He likes it a lot, but misses us when he's gone. You got a fishing pole for your birthday and you really like it when daddy takes you to the pond and helps you catch a fish. You are such a big helper to me! If I ask you to help me with something, you smile enthusiastically and say "Sure!!" It really is so great to have you as my sweet little girl. I would not trade one second with you for all the money in the world.
We still read stories, (or tell each other stories) every night before bed, and then you like to climb into your crib all by yourself. Everything you do I think is absolutely amazing. I look forward to every day to see what new thing you will do or say. You are such a beautiful little girl, I look at you and can get teary eyed when I realize that you will be with me for all of eternity. I have no idea what I did to deserve such an angel of a child, but I am grateful!!!! You are my baby, my best friend, and basically my everything! I love you sweet girl!

Love,
Mommy
