You were only 1...I remember the 1st time I saw you. You were only 1 month old and so very tiny. Now you are a big girl of 4. You have changed so much. I think your father described you perfectly. I still remember you mother at 4 and liking some of the same things you like now. I think you are an amazing girl.Grandma MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024683954246244808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31193919.post-16884119542531960082010-07-11T10:14:31.105+03:002010-07-11T10:14:31.105+03:00Dear Kaia,
A belated Happy Birthday from one of y...Dear Kaia,<br /><br />A belated Happy Birthday from one of your Dad’s work muckers. (friends)<br /><br />Your Daddy described who you are now at 4 and I’m sure he’s pretty accurate. <br /><br />This is probably who, you will be inside when you are 14, 24, 44 or even 104!<br /><br />What will change is the outside world and you will choose how you fit in to that world or others will try to decide for you.<br /><br />My Gran said the only person who can truly love you, respect you and care for you, if you let them is: yourself and I have seen how true this is.<br /><br />She wasn’t saying be selfish or unkind, but always be true to your self.<br /><br />As I reflect on you at 4 and me soon to be 44, the poem that springs to mind is “Warning” by Jenny Joseph. I’m not going to begin to rattle it out. But liking purple at 4 and knowing what you want and who you are isn’t a bad thing but realizing later in life means you’ve an awful lot of catching up to do as this poem says. ☺<br /><br />So enjoy the years ahead and fill them to the brim with all the things you find you are passionate about. With two special parents and an adorable sister there to guide you I’m sure that won’t be a problem.<br /><br />May you have many more happy and healthy birthdays and may your world be a place of peace, joy and fulfillment.<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Karen SwiftKaren Swiftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31193919.post-19124951481796527182010-07-08T22:15:11.656+03:002010-07-08T22:15:11.656+03:00Dear Kaia,
Happy Happy Birthday to a beautiful, ...Dear Kaia,<br /> Happy Happy Birthday to a beautiful, sassy girl who redefines what a princess should be! <br />Who knew that the little girl who moved in next door would make such a BIG difference in our life. Having you be our neighbor for 2 years was the best thing that happened to us. Through your friendship with Aidan, 2 sets of adults forged indelible friendships and bonds that I hope will last a long time. Because we didn't have it, Shawn and I always hoped that Aidan and Morgan would have "childhood friends" that they could connect with throughout their lives. I think you and Skye will be those friends. We are already planning our first trip to visit you and it's exciting for all of us. I hope you know how lucky you are! You have an incredible family and everything you need to be anything you want to be. You bring a sparkly energy everywhere you go. We love you Kaia and can't wait to hear what 4 brings for you! Best wishes and Love always,<br />Shawn, Kat, Aidan, and MorganKat Massengillnoreply@blogger.com
