Dear Audrey,
First, I need to apologize for the nick name. See, when you were in my belly you always measured small. You were my little nugget, just swimming around in there. I had no idea everyone else would run with it. My bad. I've been trying out Nugarita to make it more lady like but it hasn't really caught on. I'll keep at it.
Second, holymoly are you amazing. I look at you at least once a day and thank the universe for bringing you to me. Your smile lights up a room. I'm not kidding, a whole room. Today, twenty-some-odd fourth graders couldn't contain themselves when you waived "bye-bye" to them after we had lunch with your brother.
Speaking of your brother, man do you love him. And he adores you. He's so proud to have you as his little sister. He loves to show you off and dance around the room to make you giggle. He's always quick to tell everyone that he is the BEST at making you smile. It's the truth. The minute you hear his voice you look right at him and hold your arms out to him. I love watching you two together.
You and your Dad bond over music. He plays music for you while he gives you a bath and makes up words to the songs. Mostly about how cute you are, You love to help him "work". He sits you on his lap and lets you bang on your own keyboard. Until you figure it out and make him let you bang on his. You love to grab his beard and pull his face yours so you can give him kisses.
You and I love to snuggle. We read books together and sing songs together. Your Dad is amazed at the extensive library of children's songs in my head. To be honest, so am I. Your favorite is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Audrey, I can't tell you how much you have already changed me. You've made me a more compassionate and understanding person. You've made me less judgmental and more accepting. I've always been a big cry baby but now it's downright ridiculous. You've made me a better mother, a better wife, and a better person. Thank you.
Love,
Mom
