You and your best/worst friend (I mean brother) on the 4th of July!
At Goofy's Kitchen on your birthday.
Sliding down the water slide with your daddy at your party.
Having a heart to heart with Sleeping Beauty.
After you "freaked out" when all the other girls were wearing your dresses, you had to open this sleeping beauty dress so you wouldn't completely lose your mind!
Watching you as we all sang happy birthday to you.......the only thing you were concerned with was your brother not blowing out your candles.... that completely sums up your relationship!!
I'm not exactly sure where the time has gone, but I cannot believe my baby girl is 3 years old today. I have tears in my eyes as I'm writing this, for many reasons, but most importantly because it is just amazing to me how you have grown up right before my very eyes.
You are the sweetest most lovable little girl ever Taylor Mae and I cannot begin to tell you how much I love you and how you and your brother are the BEST things that could have ever happened to me. You both are the light of my life and I cherish every single second that I get to spend with you. How I got so luck with the two of you I will never know but I thank my lucky stars every single day! Because it is summer break we have gotten to spend so much time together and most of it has been in the pool. We switch from pool to pool to pool each and every day, if someone we knows has a pool, we use it! You have gotten to be such a good swimmer and are so close to being completely pool safe that we finally (today) got you in those one on one lessons so you should be good to go in the next few weeks. Your sleeping has gotten to be much worse (my fault) but we said when you turn 3 we are all going back to our own beds. You got the coolest little princess night light for your birthday and everyone knows how you love princesses!!! How that happened, I'm still not sure! Your love for your princesses, make-up, dolls, dresses, nail polish, dance, etc....is beyond me, BUT I'm trying to savor every second of it because you have to turn into an athlete eventually, right??? You still love your brother the most and hate him the most, but look up to him like he is your prince. You never want to be away from him and are always the most concerned for him AND the first one to tattle tell on him. As difficult as the last few years have been with the two of you so close in age, I wouldn't change a thing because I truly believe that the two of you are going to be the best of friends!! You got potty trained this year and I have to say that it was much easier than your brother, BUT your lack of interest in learning is so opposite from him. You talked much much quicker but he was much much more excited about learning (hopefully the PC way of putting it!) than you have been. Not that I'm concerned, you are definitely very wise beyond your years. You have gotten this sassy little attitude the last few months, hence the name "sassy pants", BUT it sure doesn't take much for me to give you a look and you to break down in tears, I guess that is the female side.
You are the best little sister, daughter, friend, granddaughter, cousin, niece that anyone could ask for. You are very very unique, which most people who know you completely agree!
I love you more than you could ever imagine and cannot wait to watch you grow this next year. Thank you for being you!
Love,
Mommy
