Dear E,
Three and a half. Already.
Where to start? Kind. Generous. Smart. Funny. Beautiful. Particular. Emotional. Exuberant. Coy. Wonderful. Blessing.
For every ounce that you make me crazy (by being just like me), are pounds worth of missing you when I'm not with you.
For every second of frustration, hours of joy.
For every penny of annoyance, dollars of love.
In every way to measure, you are the person who changed my life more than anyone else. You challenge me every day to be a better person and a better mom. If all I accomplish in this world is to have done my best by you, it will have been enough.
I love you, my sweet pea, my babelah, my girl. Happy half, plus three.

I cannot tell you how much I love it that you call her your babelah. (Perhaps she and my Evelah have a future together?)
Happy half plus 3, E!
"If all I accomplish in this world is to have done my best by you, it will have been enough."
You just made me cry. And stamp my foot in jealousy for not thinking of that exact phrasing myself. Because it is so perfect.
Seriously. That's my new motto. I just hung it on my bulletin board.
