Dear Scarlette,
You are five years old. I can't believe how time has flown! I can still remember holding you in my arms, all wrapped up, fresh & new.


You have grown so much in the past five years. You are tall and beautiful. Your hair is long and as yellow as the sunshine. Your eyes are green like your daddy's with just a ring of blue like mine around the edge. Your pink cheeks are the color of roses and I love giving you big hugs and kissing them. You are a wonderful big sister to Mason, and even though sometimes I have to remind you to be gentle with him, I know how much you love him and he loves you.


You are still my little artist and have told many that they are free to call you as such. I have an ever growing collection of your latest masterpieces that I treasure! You are so creative in your art as well! There is always a story behind each drawing or painting. I am constantly cleaning up all kinds of scraps of paper from your latest piece of art that you cut out of paper.


You also have such an imagination when it comes to your playtime. Your ponies, fiaries, and now lalaloopsy dolls come along on many adventure with us and are often part of such elaborate stories I am amazed at how you remember all the details. You are so smart and remember everything, sometimes better than me! You love to "cook" for us and will have a diner all set up for us to eat at while we watch cooking shows with daddy, your favorite!



I love you so much sweet girl! I hope you continue to stretch your imagination and talents and grow up to be as wonderful as I know you will be. I love you! I will miss my four year old, but I'm excited for what this next year will bring us! Enjoy being five! Love you for always! xoxo

Love, Mommy

Past Birthdays

Scarlette Jane...

My Dear Scarlette,

You are three. This still shocks me to realize that time has gone by so fast. Three years ago I held you in my arms for the first time and I cried. I cried because you were the most beautiful baby girl. My heart was filled with more happiness than I thought possible.

Now you are so grown up. You are quite the talker and love to sing constantly. You like to sing "twinkle, twinkle, little star" , "baa baa black sheet", and "ABC's". You stick to your Mozart. When you see that grandma or I have gotten dressed and ready for the day you always tell us that we look so pretty and that our hair, shoes, etc. is cute. Whenever someone calls you beautiful, sweetheart, cutie pie, you tell them "no, I'm Scarlette Jane." You love to come in the bathroom when I'm getting ready in the mornings and put on your "cheeks & lips" along with me. You then say "ok. now I'm ready" and we go to start the day.

Scarlette, you are so full of imagination. I love this so much about you. You are always bringing us little cows, sheep, chickens & horses to keep in our pockets. You love to hear stories and have even started telling your own. You love music and like us to play the air piano or drums to accompany your singing. When you play your drums you keep perfect time.

You are so interested in everything around you. You always ask what things are. When we tell you, you say "what __?" Sometimes we get a little exasperated with all the "whys" and "whats" but I know that you are just learning. And you do learn so much every day. You don't miss a beat. You are always making sure that everyone is being nice to each other and remind us that everything will be ok.

I love you so much Scarlette. I am so excited to experience what you being three has in store for us! I am so grateful to have you in my life!

Love, mommy.
