Dearest Mia,
Tomorrow is your seventh birthday! You have grown up so much this past year. (I say that every year, but it's true!) You are old enough now to read this blog, and we want you to know we are so proud of you. You continue to spread joy wherever you go, but also you have shown some maturity in the way you handle challenges in your life. We see in your relationships how compassionate and loyal you are. And you are also turning out to be very practical, like your mother, who just happens to love making lists:)
So without further ado, here are 10 fun facts about you at seven:
- When you grow up, you still want to be an artist.
- You favorite color has changed from blue to black (but blue is still a close second).
- You are very determined when you want something. For example, you worked hard and after many falls, you learned to roller skate this year.
- Your love of music and musicals continues to grow. You were in your first school play, "Aladdin," and you loved the experience. You saw "The Sound of Music" for the first time, and you were also in the musical "Mulan" at your drama camp this summer.
- You have a great imagination. You can still spend an entire afternoon playing with a cardboard box.
- You love performing. Last spring, you learned how to memorize and recite a poem, and courageously volunteered to do so in front of the whole school.
- You had your first taste of coffee this summer. (What?!)
- You are a good traveler, and have mastered the "art" of the road trip. You had your first visit to Disney World last spring, and it blew your mind.
- You still love reading. You love the thrill of getting wrapped up in a story and are content to spend an entire day finishing a book. Laura Ingalls Wilder is still one of your biggest heroes.
- You love to try new things. You have a natural curiosity about the world, and you love learning, at home, at school and in nature.
Love you always,
Mami and Papi
