Dear Ellery Jane,

Today you turn 5!!

5 years blown bye in the blink of an eye.

What a joy you are.

What an amazing soul.

How did I get so lucky to parent a child so secure in who she is? You are no doubt 100% your own person.

You own your anger, your happiness and your tears. You tell it like it is and you are quick to move on and forgive.

My hope for you is a year filled with celebration. Days filled with Ellie magic, the kind that comes from being the vibrant, engaging, charming, Ellery Jane.

I promise to never stop singing you to sleep,

to love you unwaveringly,

to help you grow your faith in God

and to nurture your soul.

Thank you Ellery Jane for being my daughter.

Happiest of birthday’s my beautiful girl!

Love,

Your one and only Momma

PS-

You picked this year’s song and how perfect it is…
