Dear Carolyn,
Today you are 5-and-a-quarter years old. Today you also met your twin baby cousins for the first time. You were so excited to meet them! You kept whispering to the girls how cute they were and how soon they would be big girls like you and you’d play with them and teach them how to do everything. You were especially thrilled when you were allowed to hold each baby – although Abby was much happier with that arrangement than Emma was!
Baby, five years ago, this was you:
And now look at my big girl!
I can hardly believe that 5 years (and a few weeks) have gone by since you were the baby in that little flowered sleeper! And now you’re promising to take your little baby cousins under your wing and teach them all you’ve learned in your big five years. It takes my breath away.
Love,
Mommy
