You always are completely and uniquely you, and will never go along with something just because everyone else does (which I will be more thankful for as you get older). For now that means refusing to take a birthday picture until you’re ready, not wanting a birthday theme, and doing things completely your own way (down to picking your outfit head to toe for your birthday party).
You are sweet and hesitant but also bold and demanding. You spend a lot of time worrying about life and friends and things, but you won’t tell many people or let just anyone see that. You put on a big and brave act and entertain everyone in the room. The loudest, the silliest, the least likely to do anything without a fight.
Yet when I went to your parent teacher conference, I was amazed at the child she described. So different when you don’t have your family and your siblings around. Responsible, quiet, the most diligent and hard working. You can tell me all you want that you don’t like learning or class work, but I know the truth - you’re a model student for the rest of the class, and you’re doing amazing.
I worry about you the most. I worry you’ll get hurt and then I worry that you won’t tell me. I worry that you won’t find your people, or that you will and you’ll leave your siblings behind. You are getting bigger every day, and learning so many new things. But you still let me pick you up and rock you like a baby, which I love.
You are amazing. Happy birthday.
