Toddle Along Tuesday-Hopes & Dreams

This week’s topic is particularly appropriate since its Clara’s first birthday tomorrow and this is the perfect time to express some of the things that I wish for my little girl as she grows up. Hopefully I don’t end up in a puddle of tears by the time I’m done writing!


 

 

 
My darling baby girl,

 
I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since you’ve come into our lives. You’ve changed so much! Here are some things that I wish for you as you continue to grow:

 
  • Don’t grow up too fast. Take time to enjoy having someone take care of you! The adult world is no fun and Mommy & Daddy still wish we didn’t have to be grown-ups sometimes!
  • Don’t take yourself too seriously. Have fun with life. 
  • Always strive to do your best, even if it’s not perfect.  
  • Follow your own heart. Don’t let people pressure you into something just because it’s what they want. Stand up for yourself-sooner rather than later, too! 
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Mommy & Daddy are here for you no matter if you’re 1 or 51. :) 
  • We hope you’ll always have the courage and trust to talk to us about anything. We don’t ever want you to feel ashamed or afraid to talk to us.

 
You continue to amaze us every day. Keep growing and learning and exploring the big world around you. We’re very proud to be your parents and couldn’t have dreamed of having a more amazing child than you are. We love you very much!!

  1. Hi Angie! I just had to comment after I browsed through your blog. Will your babies be about 17 months apart? Mine are 14 months apart. I haven't found another blogger yet with babies the same age difference as mine (yet) but yours are pretty close. We can share the joy (and pain) together. :) I'm kidding. Everything will be just fine.

  2. Yes, they will be about 16-17 months apart. I know it'll be a challenge, but I hope that they will be each other's best friend. :) Thanks for reading!
