ruby nicole.

when i think of you. i think of your LONG (your hair is almost as long a rapunzel's!), whispy, blonde, and often messy hair. i see it snarly because of your loathing for brushing it out. i am glad that i am ok with letting you have that snarly hair. i think i will miss it when you are out of the house more. i will miss it when you learn to do your own hair.

i think of the softest, delicate skin. your nose. your complexion. your mole on your thigh. i love that your skin is so perfect. i think of your bright, blue eyes. they are so big. they seek knowledge and i love that. you are constantly excited and looking forward to getting more out of every experience. i think of your lips. those big ol' red lips. i love the words you speak out of those big lips. you are getting so smart and using words that i think you are much to young to use like; ginormous, schedule, exactly.

you are good at so many things. being a big sister is at the top of the list though. you love your bro. he loves you too. and though at times it's SO annoying to have to share everything with him. you do such a good job. you take care of him better than i ever expected. this year, this challenge of having a new baby and part of our family. you have risen to that task and made sure to be the best big sister you could be. i love that you are concerned for him. you want him to be comfortable, happy and you love to make him laugh.

i am sorry you broke your leg. it was such a silly thing that has really impacted us. i am proud of you for enduring it well. you are good on your one foot. we have had so much fun learning together and practicing preschool together. thank you for being patient with mommy as your teacher. it's probably annoying to have to stare at the same face everyday. but you are doing so well. your letters are coming along so well. i have never been more proud of anything then when you know how to write your letters.
