So proud of you

Dear Lailah,
Hi baby girl. :) You've been a big sister for 2 weeks now. You seem to love your little brother so much. You're definitely a little mother hen.You'll make an absolutely amazing mommy one day if that's what you choose to do. You love to help with Noel. During my pregnancy you swore that if he were a boy that you wouldn't help change him lol. Now, you like to help change him and clothe him. :p You ask to hold him often, even though your little arms seem to get tired quick. You also don't like when he fusses at all, not even a tiny grunt lol. But you're amazing with him.

I am so extremely proud of you for handling everything that you've been going through lately. You've been able to handle so much in such a short frame of time. Starting school, going on that long road trip to visit your dad, me being away for the birth of your little brother and being ill, the arrival of your little brother, and even making the hugeeee big girl transition of sleeping 100% in your own bed! I could not be more happy with you. You are so perfect in so many ways.
I am so happy that I now have this amazing bond with you. This bond that connects me to you in a way it has never connected me to anyone else besides your now new brother. But you helped me learn this bond. Because of you - I love in a whole new way. You taught me how to become this new, stronger, and better person. I thank you for that. I thank you for entering my life and choosing me to be your mommy back almost 6 years ago. You've helped me grow and become to adult I am today and I am so extremely thankful that I have you in my life. I can't even imagine not having you in my life. Lailah, you are such an amazing little being and one day if you so choose to - you'll understand my love and appreciation for you when you have your own little ones.
You're growing up so fast - its unbelievable. You're such a big girl now. Everyday you still help teach me new things and become a better person - just by simply being yourself. I love you Lailah. Then, now, forever, and always.
Love,
Mommy. <3
