Keldrie's 5th Birthday!

Dear Keldrie, 

Your momma is a little late on your birthday letter this year, but I promise it is only because you and I have been having so much fun lately!

You are now 5 years old and you are more fun than ever! You and I are able to do so many things now that have been dreams since we found out that you were a girl.  We paint our nails together and sometimes I even put some lip gloss on you.  I lend you my jewelry and you tell me when you like my shoes.  You are already a fashionista.  Which is good, because I could use some help in the fashion department.  You sure can make me feel special when you tell me I look pretty.  I know it is my job to build your self-esteem, but your ability to make someone feel important is a gift that you have been born with.

Keldrie, you have another very special gift.  You have the gift of happiness. People notice you and your special smile.  Some days you are less happy because you are an emotional person, too. Your big bright spirit sometimes seems frustrated with the big emotions that come with your little body.  But usually a chance to play with a friend or do something special with your daddy cheers you right up.  When you are happy, you sing and dance and smile.  It warms my heart and the people around you notice.  

Right now you have a few favorite things.  You have three blankets that you love: flower blanket, Hello Kitty blanket, and Holy Ghost blanket.  Your favorite food is pasta.  Your taste in food has grown so much in this last year.  I am really grateful for that.  You love anything princess these days.  You, like most little girls right now, have a Frozen obsession.  You are taking dance lessons and you are having lots of fun.  You have improved so much in the last few months.  You are learning so much at school and just from life.  You constantly ask questions.  Lately, you want to know what all the knobs and buttons and pedals in the car do.  You want to know about right-of-way and all sorts of other things.  You keep me on my toes!

We love you so much, Little Princess! I can't wait to continue on this journey by your side! You are going somewhere special Little Lady! Happy Birthday Miss Keldrie Lynn!
