The smile on your face, the excitement behind your eyes— baby girl, it seems like yesterday I brought you into this world. Your first day of Kindergarten, I was so nervous all day long! I kept staring at the clock, every other hour and checking your schedule all the while. I remember baking cookies for you to enjoy and tell me about your day. I recall sitting on the front porch, tearing up because I knew that this was it. It was the first day of your big schooling and the last of being home with me.
And just like that, the year flew by, so many memories tucked safely away. You loved school so much, you rarely missed a day! You grew so much (look how big!) but even more in school. You’re a big girl, reading and writing all sorts of things.
Most importantly you gained so much confidence and weren’t so shy. You made new friends and enjoyed all of your subjects. You’re 6 six years and have so many questions, and as much as I try to keep you small, you simply must know it all.
So cheers to you, for a fantastic year!
And here’s to us for having you near all Summer.
I couldn’t have picked a more perfect daughter, you’re truly a blessing from above.
I ended the year, as I began, baking some cookies from my heart with my hands.
I hope these memories of love fill your soul.
And that you, sweet Brooke Lynn, remember that you can do it all.
Happy Summer 2019!!
