Once I Was Seven Years Old...

Avery-

Happy 7th Birthday, sweet girl! This past year has been a fun year for me to watch you grow and mature. You have become such a kind, considerate and compassionate little girl. You love family time, doing your chores, crafts, playing with your friends and taking care of your cat. You FINALLY like school!! As a book and math lover myself, I couldn't be more proud to see you begin to enjoy reading, writing and math. You even joined math club in First grade and did great!

At home, you love to help as often as possible. You love taking care of Logan and "babysitting" while daddy and I are busy at home. You almost always willingly do your chores and often offer to do Logan's chores for him. When I asked you what you want to do on your birthday, you said, "spend time with the family because family is the most important thing in the world".

The other day, you and I were running errands and you brought up something that happened over a year ago. When I reminded you how long ago it was, you exclaimed, "No, way! Are you sure, mommy? I remember it like it was yesterday!" This is exactly how I feel about the day you were born (and every day in between), goosey girl; wasn't it just yesterday? I know I will blink and you will turn 14 or go to college or get married, but for now, I will enjoy sweet seven.

I love you, Avery!

Love, mommy
