You grow so much every year but somehow you seemed to grow so much this year. You've grown from a shy kindergartener into an outgoing, smart, funny first grader.
You make me so proud in so many ways. You are silly and smart, quick and eager to learn, sympathetic and empathetic, proud and determined, helpful and caring. You seem so much older than your years that just now require the use of fingers on two hands. Sometimes I forget you are still just six and I get frustrated when your emotions run wild and the tears stream down your face. But I am so impressed with you in the moments when we can talk like adults or when you take care of your siblings, when you jump into something new with so much ambition or when you sit quietly reading chapter books.
I love watching you go about your days, whether it's playing with your siblings or creating something, playing outside or reading a book. I feel so fortunate I get to spend all day every day with you. I can't wait to see what the next year brings!
