Six years old! Wow, how the time flies. Six years ago we were pulling a U-Haul from Memphis to Nashville with our last load from our old house and I went into labor about half way back. We checked into the hospital around midnight and had you the next day.
What a beautiful young lady you have become both inside and out.
Sweet: You are so sweet. You have the sweetest smile that lights up your entire face when you share it with us.
Kind: You are so kind to your friends and family.
Enthusiastic: When you find something that you are interested it, there is no stopping you.
Sensitive: I have to remember that you can be so sensitive to words. You can break down crying if I say something the wrong way to you.
Feisty: Nice way of saying you have a temper sometimes. You can certainly get mad when you feel the need.
Right now you love to scare me! I find you hiding all over the place and you love to jump out and scare me. We have been practicing real hard on being sneaky because I usually already know you are there. But you have gotten me a couple of times very good. Daddy has taught you "sneak and peak".
When you grow up you have said you would like to be an artist, a teacher, and a mom. You actually asked me the other day if you could do "nothing" like me when you grow up.
You love Jesus. He is a part of your life. You are striving to learn more about him. You love for me to read from the bible. You ask daily for bible stories to be retold. Right now your favorite is about the 10 plagues that God brought on Egypt. But, we are learning about David now and you love for me to retell you about David's life.
You are into softball, gymnastics and swimming right now. You love all of it and you will try or do anything but I don't think that we have found that one special thing that you love to do yet.
You love crafts and drawing. You love your notebooks and writing in them. You would paint and draw and cut and color all the time if you could.
You are fearless.
You are so inquisitive. You love to ask questions, you love to have conversations and speak like an adult much of the time. You love to learn "sayings" like "don't let the cat out of the bag", and "don't beat around the bush".
Your imagination is huge.
You are learning to be a big sister. Your brother gets on your last nerve sometimes but you love him to death and are so good with him when he will actually let you!
You love your Daddy. Boy do you love daddy.
You are riding your bike without training wheels.
You love school. I don't think you realized you were learning till I started asking what you "learned" today. I believe that school is your social playground.
Which brings me to, you are not shy. You will talk to anyone about anything! Everything is interesting to you. How the waiter cooks food, how the garbage man picks things up, what people do at their jobs, why someone says something and what does it mean.
You are simply an amazing little girl. You are my sweetie, you are my ladybug and you are my baby girl. Happy 6th birthday, Jessica.
