Another year has flown by, hasn’t it? It feels like just yesterday we were making mud pies in the backyard and arguing over who got to wear the sparkly princess crown. Now you’re another year older, another year wiser, and, dare I say it, maybe even a tiny bit less likely to borrow my clothes without asking! Though some things never change, do they?

Seriously though, watching you navigate life’s little adventures has been both inspiring and hilarious. From that questionable perm in middle school to acing your exams with your usual last-minute cramming, you always manage to keep things interesting. And while there are moments I might want to lock you in a closet (mostly when you’re humming off-key at 7am), I wouldn’t trade you for anything in the world.
