Happy Birthday Maura!

Dear Maura,

You are six years old. This is a big year for you. You started kindergarten and are playing on your first sports' team (the Snowflakes-soccer). You have met many new people at your school, but always insist that your best friends are still your first friends, Isabel and Maria.

I am really proud of the little girl you are becoming. You are confident. You are basically kind. You are funny. And you are smart. Oh, and I guess you are pretty cute too, although if I call you cute, you will yell at me, because you-do-not-like-the-word-cute!

You are also creative. Sometimes, maybe a little too creative. You are great at weaving a tale, even when you really should not be. We always take what you say a little less than literally.

You can really make me laugh. And sometimes, you can even drive me crazy. You get easily distracted and could spend hours, doing "nothing" at all. Of course to you, it really is something.
You love to be the center of attention when it is not planned. You can keep a room laughing for an hour. However, when I asked you if you wanted to take a theater class at the Y you said no, because you get stage fright.

You love to dance around the house and sing. You can really hold a tune. I am always impressed by that ability... one I wish I had.

i really love watching you grow up. I love watching you run around on the soccer field... and score goals and get to to do the special high five... your favorite part! I love that you love you daddy and spend special nights with him at soccer where he coaches you. I love that you answer people confidently and look them right in the eye. I love that you are not afraid to take a class or go to a party where you don't know anyone.. because, as you say, you'll meet them. I just love the little, well bigger, girl you are becoming and I look forward to watching you grow and change (but not too much!)
Love,
Mommy
