Princess Lizzie,
You are 2 years old today! Mama will cry at least once today. It is so neat to watch you learn new things as you grow but I also want you to stay little. I am so glad to be your mommy! You bring much joy and laughter to our family. There are so many things I want to tell you about how wonderful you are and how much you mean to me but one letter simply can’t hold all that so here are the highlights. You became a big sister long before any of us had planned and you are so sweet to Millie. You love her so much and are sure to always take care of your Mill. By the way, you call every baby Mill Mill. You love your big sisters too. You and Sallie fight a lot but I know you still love her. You admire everything that both she and Elleigh do. Sisters are very special and mama is so happy that you get to share your life with 3 sisters! You have beautiful blonde curls and whenever someone sees you they always say, “look at those curls.” You also have big blue eyes and at 2 you already know how to use them to get what you want. You are so prissy! You really are a princess! Daddy says you are 100% girl. You melt your daddy’s heart! You do not like to get dirty or get anything on your clothes. You want everything to be in its right place. Lately you insist on dressing yourself and you work very hard until you have your clothes perfect. You can say daddy but you choose to call him mama. We correct you but you have a mind of your own! When you are not happy with me you say “mam-uhhh”. When we tell you to do something you often do not obey us until we say ”NOW” in a stern voice and then you know we mean business. Your favorite words are NO and MINE. I think you say no a lot because mommy says it so many times a day and mine because with 3 sisters you have to fight for lots of things and because you are 2. You are very dramatic! You gasp and cover your mouth with both hands when you are surprised. I hope to potty train you soon. I have tried 2 times already and you are not very interested. You want your diaper off as soon as you tee tee in it and you love wearing panties but you don’t love going to the potty. Please love going to the potty soon! Last but certainly not least you always make sure we pray at each meal. As soon as you get to the table you start stretching out your arms to hold the hands of whoever is beside you. This makes mama and daddy so proud. Lately you have begun speaking your own prayer while whoever is praying, in your own language I might add. You are a precious gift God created and gave to us and our hope is that you will love and serve Him with all your heart. Happy 2nd Birthday!!!
P.S. I finished writing this letter to you last weekend and this week I am pretty sure that the terrible 2’s have hit us. Oh baby girl, have I mentioned you have a mind of your own? It’s going to be a “fun” year!!!
I LOVE YOU!
Mama

Daddy can never truly express how each of his girls has blessed him and touched his heart. I hope you have a great birthday and I love you, your drama, and you CURLS.
