Miss Paige turns 9 !!

Every year on Paige's birthday, I tell her to stop getting older, and that she is upsetting me by growing up. Yet, each year she does it.....gets bigger, smarter, more mature, and taller (thanks to dad). I cannot believe she is 9, or should I say....I can't believe I have a 9 year old daughter! And as sad as it makes me that she is getting older, I am excited for what is to come! Happy birthday Paige, I love you so much, and here is why.......

You calm me down when I get heated and want to yell.

You are so tender hearted.

You have the cutest freckles.

You still kiss and hug me every night and every morning.

You want to hang out with me.

You are almost as tall as me.

You take care of your brother and sister.

You have a beautiful voice, and sing all the time.

You have a spirit about you that makes me want to be a better person.

You have always been wise and mature beyond your age.

You will always have a special place in my heart, you are my first baby!
