Little Love Bug

Dear Shaylee,

I love that you are still our Love Bug. Since you were born so cute and small, the day after Valentines Day, the name seemed to fit you so well. Now, you're all huge and ten. I'm not sure how I feel about being old enough to have a ten yr old... But it is really fun to have you as a shopping buddy. We have a lot of fun trying on clothes together. It is weird that we can shop in some of the same places now though (even if you wear the very smallest size).  The other day we were looking at some clothes and you held one up to you and said "Mom, I like this one. Wait, don't you have this shirt?"  I think that means I should be dressing older, but I won't. I like my Roxy T-shirts. They fit my style, or should I say OUR style :) I'll skip on the frilly zebra and hot pink skirts though. Those are all yours babe!

Shaylee you are such a sweetheart and I love you to pieces. Sometimes I say that you are the hardest kid for me to raise but that is because you are sooo like me. Once when Grandma was really mad at me she said, "I hope you have a daughter just like you one day." I think she meant it as a curse at the time but it was really a blessing because I adore you. You have a kind heart and love to take care of animals and mother things. You are beautiful, talented and smart. You are going to be amazing at whatever you choose to do someday and I'm excited to see what the future holds for both of us!

Love you tons and tons,

Mom
