To Evelyn, On Your Birthday.

Dear Evelyn,

       What a joy you are as a rambunctious, curious two-year old! You are our little pixie - you're petite and dark, and you are such a snuggler. You love your sister more than anything in the world - whether you're trying to copy her every move or driving her crazy on purpose (and you absolutely know what you're doing!), you spend your entire day calling after her and trying to do everything Bella does!
       You seem to love everyone in the family in a special way, and boy, do you adore your Daddy. You love to climb up in his lap and suck your thumb and snuggle. You love it when he throws you high into the air, or pushes you on the swing. As soon as you wake up in the morning, you come and ask me, "Daddy? Daddy?" That question comes throughout most of the day until Daddy pulls into the driveway after work!
       You are learning new words everyday! You say "Coke" like you have a Russian accent, and you love asking, "Why?" You can say 'watch', 'ball', 'sock', 'hide', 'higher', 'push', 'cracker', and I'm sure a whole bunch of other words that I can't think of. You're pretty good at coloring, but you barely sit still for a story. You love to lay in our bed and watch movies with Mommy and Bella.
        You have brought so much joy and wonder to our family. You find happiness in the smallest things, and we love watching your brain work! I love how content you are simply to sit in my lap. This coming year, you will start preschool and learn what it's like to have a little brother/sister. Since I'm a middle child, too, I seem to have a soft spot to make sure you always feel included. Daddy and I promise to make you feel special, even when you're not going to school everyday like Bella, or getting all of the cuddles, like a new baby.


I love you so much, sweet thing!

Love,

Your Mommy
