Happy 7th Birthday!!

Dear Juliette,

Happy 7th Birthday. You are a gift and a treasure. I love your sensitive heart and your sweet and kind nature. I love your inquisitive mind and the curiosity in your eyes.

I am so proud of how you have grown this past year. You have become a confident little girl. You love to talk to adults and share your opinions and funny stories. People often tell me how much they enjoy having conversations with you. You are such an interesting young lady. I love the way you seek to include others. You don't want people to be left out and often seek to include whoever doesn't have a partner.

I have had so much fun reading our family read alouds with you. We cry at all of the same places. Charlotte's Web was a rough one for us, as was Bambi. But these books have bonded us and I love when you jump into my lap and hide your face to let out your emotions.

I love that you are the girl to pick up the worms and bugs to inspect them. You are quick with a snuggle and your love language is definitely physical touch. You are truly a unique little girl and I am incredibly blessed to be your mom.

Love,

Momma

We had a party last Saturday to celebrate Juliette and Peter's birthdays. We had a fancy brunch, played in kiddie pools and sprinklers outside, did a scavenger hunt, and enjoyed ice cream cake. Juliette and Peter had a wonderful time.

Juliette was very happy to receive a watch for her birthday. She has worked so hard to learn how to tell time all summer (her own idea) and is very excited to now own a watch. She also loves her diary she received from Grandma Jo-Ann and has been faithfully writing in it everyday.
