Family

This week at school Haylee learned about family. On Tuesday she took a family picture to show to her class.

Today, Haylee took a letter we wrote to her and her teacher read it out loud. Today she also had show and tell for the first time and brought Clifford.

Isn't she just the sweetest thing? Ha! She's got you fooled! No, she really can be sweet when she wants to be.

Haylee Girl,

We are so thankful you are a part of our family. You are such a beautiful, sweet little girl and you’re just as smart as can be! We love your big, brown eyes and your contagious smile. We love how independent you are, but sad to see you growing up so fast.

From the day you came home from the hospital our hearts were overfilled with love for you. You were such a good baby and slept through the night early on. Compared to your sister, you were an easy toddler too. You never got into much trouble. You seemed to know what you weren’t allowed to mess with and you stayed away from those things. You have always been an easy going child.

We love how you always make us laugh. Whether you are dancing around, making funny faces, flying through the house like a bird, talking for Jackson or just saying something funny, you are always making us laugh.

You are the best big sister. We love how you have learned to play so nicely with your sister and how you always look out for her. We love that you always share with her and help her when she needs help.

We love what a big helper you are. Whether it’s getting Jackson a treat, picking up your toys, folding and putting laundry away or getting Natalee her drink from the fridge you are always willing to help. You keep your room clean and are very good about cleaning up your messes and more importantly, putting things where they actually go.

Haylee girl, we just love you so much. You will always have a special place in our hearts because you made us parents and you were our first little baby.
