Keep shining for me.

Dear Lailah,
Yesterday I went to your very first parent teacher conference. I am so extremely proud of you.Your teacher just adores you. She said you are doing so well! She said you are motivated and persistent. She said you just have the cutest little voice and you love to sing all the songs in the class very well! She thinks you're adorable. :) She also said that you're doing very good with all of the other children in the classroom and that you are now getting along with everybody! You're doing excellent in everything. On your report card you got all 3's except for only ONE 2. Which is awesome! You are so bright! I love watching you learn and grow. You're such an amazing little girl. You have persevered and you are succeeding. This past year has been difficult for you, I know. You started Kindergarten, your first teacher got arrested, your second teacher was only temporary, you got a new baby brother, and we moved from Papa Doug's house to Mammee's. It's been a lot of change for you - but through it all you keep moving forward and you continue learning and growing. I love you more than you can know right now. <3 Keep shining for me.
Love, Mommy.
