Our Big 5 Year Old - Sept. 4, 2008

So my Darling Daughter turns 5 today! We have been talking about everything that will change when she is 5. She will not be afraid to go upstairs by herself. She will not be overly grumpy or sassy to her mommy for no good reason. She will grow and grow. She gets to wear her new shoes and new outfit(As seen in her pictures).

Leila is a special girl- definately a Star! I have so many special reflections of my daughter. My journal is full of my thoughts and feelings since she was born. She has enlightened my life. She has taught me not only things about being a Mother, but also about myself and being a person worthy of her respect. Raising her is proving to be quite challenging, however the rewards by far outweigh any challenge she could send my way. I am grateful to Leila who loves me despite my shortcomings.

I love you sweet Angel Leila Estelle.
