I blinked my eyes and my baby is a big girl. June is my first baby and, over the past five years, we have spent almost every moment by each others' side.
It breaks my heart to think that I have to send this little bug off to school this year, so for now, I just want to look back on her first five years of life and feel warm inside thinking of all the great times we have had together.
Dear Junie,
For five years, we have learned to be a mother and a daughter together. At times, we have had some showdowns. I guess those stem from us being so alike and stubborn. But there exists a love and friendship between us that can't be shaken. You are my best friend. Nothing thrills me more than watching you grow, discover, and enjoy the world around you. I feel like you are so wise beyond your years and worry I will have to work very hard to keep up with you. Your zest for life and thirst for knowledge inspires me and makes me want to enjoy every minute.
No other girl could be a bigger help to her mom and for that I am grateful. Even though I am terrified of giving you wings, I am so excited to watch you grow. Just never forget where your nest is. You will always be my best girl.
I love you,
Mom

That's one cute, cute girl! Gosh, I can't imagine sending off my 3 year old to school yet. I think it'll be harder for me than her. I'm sure it will happen sooner than I think --- time will fly!
She is so cute! I love her baby pictures. I remember when Alexis turned five, and it was so hard for me. Sending her to school was sooooo hard. Happy Birthday to the big 5 yr old girl. She is so cute!
