To Emily On Your 8th Birthday

Dear Emily,

AH! How are you eight already??  Only 2 more years before you hit double digits.  Time just needs to slow down a bit.  This has been another great year for you, but I can't wait to see what turning 8 will bring.

You are the sweetest little girl and you sure make me and your Daddy super proud.  For the most part, you are a go with the flow type of girl.  You're such a sweet and loyal friend.  You still have a big personality and are super outgoing. You have a ton of friends, but this year you've made your first best friend.

You have started second grade and while it's definitely a bit more challenging than first grade, you are already doing great having earned all A's on your very first graded report card.  You love your teacher this year, so I know it will be a great school year.  With Evan starting Kindergarten, you've been such a great big sister to him and always help him out at school when he needs it.

This year you have really found your love of tumbling. You still take gymnastics and play soccer too, but tumbling is your favorite.  You love to flip upside down.

You are still my sweets girl who dislikes pretty much every kind of fruit and veggie there is.  Italian food and dessert are the way to your heart.  You still love to draw and are super creative, so it's no surprise that art class is your favorite specials class at school.

Happiest of birthdays to my sweet pea.  Eight is sure going to be great!  I just know it.  I hope you have the best day ever and know just how much you mean to all of us.  I love you!

Love,
Mommy
