11 already!!

Dear Lailah,
Today you are 11. I can't believe it. I know that I probably say that every year, in every post I write. But it's so crazy to me how quickly time passes.
You are such an incredible human and I'm so proud of who you are. I love you so much and I can't imagine my life without you. Thank you for choosing me to be your mom and accepting my faults. Thank you for helping me learn to grow as a human here on this Earth. Thank you for showing me what it's like to be pure, loving, accepting, and kind.
You are so full of compassion and empathy, you honestly want good for everybody. You still battle anxiety but I believe that those of us who are sensitive always will. Being sensitive is a curse sometimes but it's also a blessing. One day, when you can meet your anxiety, you'll have so much open up to you.

You are just so sweet. Your teacher in school loves you and says that you are her best student, you're a little mother hen and absolutely adore your baby sister, and you're just so full of sunshine. You're honestly my favorite big girl.
Soon, you will be a teen, so I'm going to appreciate and treasure these last moments of your childhood with you the best I can, I promise. <3 we are going to continue to snuggle, watch movies and shows, talk about school, play games, wrestle, and so much more until you blossom into the next stage in your life and shed some of those things. It's ok though baby girl, I'll follow you anywhere you go, I'll be there for you, and I'll support you.
This year you're really taken a liking to anything JoJo Siwa, she's a 13 year old millionaire who was on a show but who now owns tons of merch lines and has a youtube channel. You also have taken a liking to twins on youtube and you watch all different ones channels. You're also a huge fan of The Labrant Family and you keep yourself updated on them consistently.
I know that you'll be amazing in life because you already are. Your essence is pure and you'll always carry it with you. <3 I see your struggle and I know that you'll always make it out the light and when you're struggling, I will be there to help guide you to it, so please always let me, deal?
I love you so much and I can't wait to have more years with you as one of my littles. My oldest little. <3 Thank you for making me a mom and for being you.
Love forever, Mommy.
