Holy Cow...

How can it be? Sweet Delainey Rose is 3!



Three years ago today, you came into our lives. A gorgeous, sweet, petite bundle with dark hair screaming at the top of your lungs...very much the same way I have been told I came into this world. You were so tiny that your binky nearly covered your whole face! You are so big now and growing everyday.



You are sassy. You are silly. You are beyond sweet until you are not! You are a nut bucket to say the least. You drive me crazy at times but mostly you are a sweet hearted girl, with an infectious smile and a flair for the dramatic. You love to dress up in clothes you have picked out. You never wear two of the same colored shoes and rarely do you put your shoes on the right feet.



You adore your big brother, whom you call Bubby and he pretty much adores you too. You should know that you hit the jack pot as far as big brothers go. I highly doubt any other seven year old boy out there would be as patient, as loving, as tender as he is with you. I am quite certain, most days, you believe yourself to be a seven year old boy. If Isaac is doing it, you sure as heck are gonna do it too. I love that you two look out for each other. I can't tell you how many times your brother has brought home a wand, or a bubble necklace or something girly he thought you might like from the treasure box at school. And in the same fashion, if we are out and about and someone offers you a lollipop or a sticker or some other treat, you always grab two and say, " I need one for my Bubby!" As your momma, I can't tell you how much happiness this brings me. I pray daily that you two will always remain the very best of friends!



I love watching you blossom into the little girl you are becoming, so beautiful and confident. As your mother, I am learning new things from you daily about life, how it's meant to be lived and how I can make the most of it. You are so carefree and full of life. You have little to no fears. You are also very stubborn and strong willed. Which again, as your mother, is difficult some days. However, I try and remember that if we guide you the right way and teach you the things that are most important, these traits will serve you well later on in life.


Just remember baby girl, Momma loves you and will always be your biggest fan!
