Today I really needed a reminder of how sweet, and adorable you are- because this morning it was almost impossible to remember.
In fact, it has been next to impossible to remember all week. The things that I love about you, are also the things that make me crazy.
Your carefree attitude about life will ensure you never have an ulcer- but it will surely give me one.
You're ability to not be affected by any punishment you are given, will probably save me several "I hate you Mom" moments- but it will keep me up at night, trying to figure out SOMETHING that will phase you.
The speed at which you are able to move on from anything, will make all your trials in life a bit easier- but will keep me questioning whether or not you've learned your lesson.
The humor you are able to find in any situation will keep your life (and your brothers and sisters life) fun and always entertaining- but will have me fuming when you think I don't know you're giggling behind my back.
The way you say, "I love you Mom", right in the middle of me YELLING at you, will keep your lectures short, and remind me to CHILL- but it will also keep me guessing.
The way you forget all responsibility as if it never existed, will keep your life exciting- but it will keep me, forever, checking in on you.
Your lack of motivation will keep you from being board- and will keep me searching for 'your thing' in life.
The way you love your brothers and your sister, will be constant. They will be able to confide in you, and count on you for anything- this will provide them all with many alibis that I won't be able to crack.
Your dimple. I fell in love with it the day you were born. You keep life interesting Elle. You keep me on my toes. You infuriate me. You love me. You are by FAR, the most difficult child to discipline. You take everything in stride, and don't get too upset about anything. It makes me absolutely CRAZY... and happy. You are teaching me not to take life too seriously. I'm learning. Oh yeah- those wrinkles you pointed out on my face... they ALL came from you.

Beautifully said. I really need to get on posting some notes to my kids so they atleast know down the road that I was paying a little attention. I love all the pictures, Elle is really so beautiful.
And congrats on another boy, I picked that up when you said something about her "brothers".
The Crew hair pictures are hilarious.
What a beauty! How could you even get frustrated with a cute face like Elle's? She sounds just like Amelia. We are still trying to come up with discipline that will faze her, too. Enjoy her, all too soon she will be out driving and dating!
What a nice post of Elle. You are a good mom for her, she is very sweet and I love her little dimple, too. :) Also, love the rat nest in the back of Crew's head...Cole has one just like it, except that I buzzed his head today.
That was sweet. She is seriously adorable- which makes it so much worse when they are stinkers. I think that it has something to do with the 2nd child!! That was a fun letter though... what a cute mom.
