Tessa Turns Three

Oh, sweet girl of mine. How could I have ever dreamed of a more perfect you? I think of the magic you brought to us over these past three years and man, am I lucky to be called your Momma. Happy Birthday Roo, my heart and dreams are filled with love and thankfulness for you.

This morning you stood so tall as I marked your years worth of growing on the doorway.

I know you wish to be even taller but I looked at the space between the 2-year old mark and 3-year old mark and it might as well be a mile.

I was honored to read your Rainbow Story, telling you the magic of the day you were born.

"...The baby girl and her guardian angel walked along the rainbow that led from her place in Heaven to her family on Earth. First they stopped at the Moon who gave the baby girl a seed of wisdom. Next they stopped at the stars who sprinkled tiny glittering seeds of creativity into her hands. Lastly, they stopped at the Sun who gave her a large seed of determination..."

The squeak of excitement when you saw your birthday ring made me proud; that you'd notice each of the sweet decorations signifying special things that make you you. A moon, a horse and a new ladybug for this year.

Happy birthday Tessa!
