Dearest Lulubear!
Happy birthday to my so very sweet, caring, thoughtful and funny Lulubear. I love you so much and can't believe you are growing up so fast! Wow! 11th. Your lucky number and your lucky birthday (11 on the 11th). I hope you take this year to be you--enjoy, celebrate life and continue to grow into the wonderful person that you are. You are in 5th grade this year and you really have had a great year. You love basketball and volleyball and you have made some really great friends. You still love pasta and you have gotten really into making slime. But most of all, you really haven't changed that much since you were born. You always put others ahead of yourself, you are so kind, giving, loving and just sweet. We don't know who you get that from. You are very funny and your friends think you are very funny. You still venture into Lulu-land every once in awhile but that's one of the things we love about you.
What else? You are starting to find a sense of style and you are enjoying shopping. You like the sporty clothes even though Mommy tries to get you to wear dresses a lot. You are having some friends over tonight before volleyball practice for pasta and your special pumpkin cupcakes.
But most importantly, you have smile that can light up a room. You always always make people smile and feel good about who they are. You just love life and you love taking up YOUR space in this great big world.
I look at you and my heart melts. Your kindness inspires me to be a better person every day. I want to do good things so you are proud of me. I love you so much and know all of your dreams will come true.
I love you to the moon and back. Happy birthday sweet Lulubear.
All my love,
Mommy
