A Letter to my Daughter on her 2nd Birthday

Maisy ~

Today you are TWO whole years old.  I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but when a Mommy’s baby turns 2 years old it feels like their baby just is not a baby anymore! So it’s a little sad.  But it’s also happy because it means that you are learning and growing and becoming your own little person.  A person that we could not imagine our lives without!

You are such a special little girl Maisy.  Your voice is so small and sweet, even when the things that come out of it are NOT, you still manage to make them sound sweet!  Your personality is BIG, you love to be tickled and laugh until your belly hurts, find something that makes other people laugh and do it over and over, and strut around like you own any place you’re at!  You can be calm and cuddly one second then take off running like a wild woman the next.  You bring so much laughter to our home.

You are the perfect match for your big brother.  He loves to be in charge and you are always there to remind him that he can’t always be in charge!  He thinks it should always be his turn and you are there to remind him that it should always be your turn!  He is not always the fastest moving, so you are right there to steal one of his favorite toys and run with it to strengthen his skills!  He would be lost without you, I promise. 

Telling you about your two year old self would not be complete without mentioning your love for your Daddy.  He is the first person you ask for when you wake up in the morning, the last one you need to see before you go to bed.  I hope that no matter how old you get, you will always think he’s the coolest, best man in the world, because he is!  Me & Ryder always tell you that you are too territorial over Daddy because we never get a turn with him!  I see so much of myself in you so I can’t help but laugh when you attach yourself to Daddy and will NOT let go!  You are going to be a great wife one day, I know that. 

We love you so much Maisy Liza and hope you feel so special today on your Birthday, and every day!

~ Mommy

Love this letter so much!! Happy Birthday sweet Maisy! I'm so happy to have gotten to watch you grow over the last two years. From the little girl I saw in the hospital with a head full of long brown hair, to the prettiest little girl now, running the show! :) I hope you continue to grow up and be just like your Mommy because she's the greatest friend anyone could ask for! Hope your day is as special as you are!! XOXO
