My Ella,
Your age no longer fits on one hand. How did this happen? How do I push the slow-mo button on your fast and furious growing? Reality is, I can't. So I have to try keep up with it the best I can!
You have had quite a year - starting your school journey, first year of soccer and gaining so many new friends. This really has been a year to remember. I can't tell you how proud I am of the way you carry yourself in school. I get almost daily comments on "how great Ella is"! I would like to share what your teacher wrote on your report card:

"Ella is cooperative, respectful, empathetic and has great self control. Practice being self-assertive when necessary, Ella (she has no trouble with this at home!). You are growing into a wonderful student and friend to others.
(these comments are what REALLY matter to your dad and I . . . way more than your grades!)
Ella, I love the way you still call me "mama", I love the way your hair swings from side to side when you walk, I love how excited you get when you learn something new, I love how you think the "S" word stands for "stupid", I love what a good big sister you are, I love how you love to follow school rules, I love that you're a middle sister - just like me, I love the way you sing to yourself when you are trying to fall asleep, and I love how hard you try at everything.
