Letter #6

Dear Evalyn, O my sweet baby girl. Today you and I had a mommy/daughter date and it was amazing. You are almost two years old and you have become an incredible ball of personality. Since Loreli speaks enough for all of us, you are taking your time with expressing yourself in words. During our alone time together I noticed at the beginning, you made your faces and usual noises in the car. When we got to the mall you started whispering to me and by the time we got home you were trying to say more. The alone time showed me that you just need a chance to speak and find your words. I very much enjoyed our time together. We shared pizza and potatoes, which you loved. It's almost comical how you are so incredibly tiny yet you eat constantly and will eat just about everything in sight. After pizza we enjoyed a ride on the carousel. You were nervous and held me close, but I put you on a horse that rode up and down and once the ride got going, your smile went from ear to ear. I will absolutely remember that ride for the rest of my life. It was only you and I, no one else existed. We tried out the new play area at the mall and took photos together and then did some shopping for Christmas. Each of you girls continue to amaze me with how different your personalities are. I especially love your beautiful smile and tiny hands. Holding your little hands just melts my heart. And your giggle is enough to pull anyone up on their darkest day. Thank you so much for our special time today Evalyn. As much as I wish that I could stop time and keep you girls little forever, you are growing into a beautiful little girl and I cannot wait to see more of your personality shine through. Loving you always and forever, Mommy
