a note to my sweet vannah.

Van,

I really do fall more in love with you every day. You have no idea just how much entertainment you bring to your Daddy and I. When you are at preschool...we miss you tremendously. You really are our permanent 3rd wheel that we will never be able to live without.

Your Daddy told me today that he thinks that you are smarter than me, and I didn't even take offense to it...because I think that he's right. I hope that you continue to be better than I am, because that means that I am doing something right. I hope that you set higher goals, go more places, take risks, enjoy life...and are a better person. You have so much potential, I hope I never hold you back!

I never could have imagined the love that you already show for your baby brother. You get more excited when I come home, not because I'm home, but because I bring Vin with me. You have definitely done more nesting than I have, and when I have tried to "nest" you quickly take over any job I might be doing. I am hoping this adjustment of being a family of 4 goes as smoothly as the idea of it.

Thank you for always cleaning my bathroom, taking care of Daddy while I am away, and thank you especially for being my daughter.

xx,

Mother
