Dear Alyssa
Here we are again – another year has passed and what an amazing year it has been watching you growing up.
Something happened this week, which makes me want to hug you even tighter than I do every day and cherish your every move. You will understand one day when you’re older.
Over the past year, your strong personality has certainly come to the fore. Your mood swings too – I think you may have inherited this from Daddy. However, your smile, laughter, and wit (which happens later in the day) compensates for that! Even when you are miserable in the mornings, you are actually quite funny and that makes me smile.
You have been a confident and independent child since day 1 and I love to see how these qualities continue to develop.
