7...

She turned 7 last month. I look at her and wonder where the years went. I love the little girl she has become. She is confident. She has such a heart for her friends and family. She is full of spunk. She is fiesty. She is strong willed. She is dramatic. ;) she is a lot all balled up into one little package and I love her more than words can say. 

Today we had her birthday party. I wish I could capture the smile on her face the entire time. We had a rockstar party with 3 of her friends. There were more kids there than I could count, and I loved every minute of those little girls dancing their hearts out to the music. It is always so much work to get a party together. One smile that doesn't fade makes it totally with it.

I thought I could never love someone this much. I didn't know how strong a bond of being a mother is with your daughter. She had made me a better person the past 7 years. I wish I could explain it adequately but I hope that I willalways remember   these days. I want to remember dancing with my baby girl and her friends at her party. I want to remember the sparkle in her eyes today. I want to remember this little girl, with wiggly teeth, that loves her dolls with her heart, that loves her best friends more than they know....

I know each day you grow older my Kennedy. You like to remind me of that daily. Know that when you are all grown up and reading this, that I loved every single minute of your childhood. The hard days will fade away, but days like today will stay with me forever. Here is to the best 7 years of my life. You truly are my dream come true!!
