Dear Ellie,
You have changed so much in the past year. We can definitely see your personality shining through. You are sensitive, caring and cautious. You are one of the first kids in your day-care class to give a friend a hug when they are sad. You do not like disappointing people, and love to show off your green lights from day-care. You love to be on the go and always want to have people over to play.
You are a big girl, going from a crib to a big girl bed at just over 2 years old. You also decided you did not want to wear a diaper to bed this summer, so fully potty trained you are. You can be very determined when you want to be. And have a good memory to remind Mommy and Daddy of things that we might not remember.
You love to play with your baby doll, play kitchen and love "craft-time" with Mommy. You are also a big fan of your Friday afternoon bike rides home from day-care with Daddy. I am not sure if it is the bike ride, stopping at a playground or the fruit snacks--- but you love it! You still love to read, and would let us read to you for hours on end before bed if we would.
You have grown-up so much this year, especially since the birth of your baby sister. Genevieve is so very lucky to have you as her big sister, there is no better one out there! You are her favorite person in the whole world, and can make her smile just by looking at her. We can already see the bond between the two of you, it is amazing. You adapted to sharing your Mommy and Daddy with minimal jealousy, making the transition very easy.
When we had the fire this summer, you were so easy-going during the transition period. It made the whole process a little easier for Mommy and Daddy. Thank you for making us smile and reminding us of what is really important in life.
You are such a good little helper. From making Neve happy to grabbing something for Mommy to helping cook, you are always there when we need you. You are our sweet little girl.
We could not have asked for a better little girl. We love you more than you will ever know, and enjoy every minute of watching you grow-up. Feel free to slow down, as it is going by way to fast for us.
Love, Mommy
