"Shine bright little lady, never let anyone dull your shine!"
As you grow and I see the world your being brought up in it makes me so sad and worried. Sad that you will grow up in a generation where girls dress in mini skirts and crop tops by the time they are ten if not younger. Sad that having a cell phone by age 7 is normal, or that sitting in front of a TV or playing on an IPad is more entertaining than going to the park. I'm worried that you will be exposed to drugs and drinking before your able to drive a car. I'm worried that as you get older you'll sneak out with a change of clothes in your back pack just to hide it from your father and I.
People tell me I'm stupid to think I can protect you from all these things. They tell me I'm crazy if I think sending you to a private school or driving a half hour outside the city everyday is going to change all the things I am so scared you'll be exposed to. They say that hiding all these things from you isn't going to do anything to help you in the future. I dont know why but your first birthday all of a sudden made all these things so important and as your mom I could careless if it will help you later or not if I can protect you from seeing those things now then I will!
Your one now your not my little baby anymore. Your walking, your talking and your such a little explorer. Your going to teach your little brother or sister so much your just so smart and I love watching you! Your still tiny only 18lbs but tall like daddy, 33inches! You love music and dancing! Mickey mouse is your favorite show! You love books and even read to Roxie! Your growing into such a strong willed determined little girl! I love watching your personality grow and seeing you turn into your own litter person! Dont ever forget how much your dad and I love you and that no matter what we will always be here for you!
