Happiest birthday to my baby girl, monkey, Emery Jean, you are becoming quite the young lady. (9 days late - I am behind on everything!) The past 13 years have FLOWN by! I remember rocking you in the chair with tears streaming down my face, thinking about how unbelievably happy I was, how devasted I was to go back to work, and how I wanted to just keep having more babies :) You are an amazing girl in so many ways:
- So smart! The ease I which you achieve fantastic grades proves this but what makes me proud is that your goal for the year is to have a higher grade in accelerated math than PE. You go girl!
- So strong! Both mentally and physically! You are tough as nails and stronger than any girl I've known at your age. Keep on beating those boys at pull-ups at school
- So inclusive! Your desire to be friends with everyone and be inclusive of everyone is very unique for a middle school girl. Keep being you and inviting more people who don't fit at your lunch table
- So aware! You can be quiet and reserved (like me sometimes) but are so sensitive to how people feel around you. You don't show it but tell me all the time how sad you feel when you see old people alone and homeless people who need help. Don't ever stop caring
- Fearless! Watching you excel at gymnastics says it all. Who the hell leans backwards to let their hand grip a 4 inch beam?! You never cease to amaze me.
- Beautiful! Inside and out :) You are a natural beauty when you smile and you always have been and continue to be the prettiest girl in the room for all of the reasons above
I love you more than anything in the whole entire world. Let's stay close as we embark on this teenage journey together :)
- Mommy
