To My Daughter ~ Final Fourth Grade Morning




S'ghetti girl, we shared our last morning of the fourth grade bus routine today.  It made me think how it didn't seem that long ago that we were sharing the very first fourth grade morning.  I always enjoy the morning time that only you and I get to share.  When everyone else is still asleep and it's just us girls getting to talk.  And yes, sometimes bicker.  But we hug and kiss before that bus takes you away for another day.


First Day of Fourth Grade


This morning you were a much more mature S'ghetti.  You are helpful and eager for your day.  You are happy to pose for all the silly mommy pictures that we take every time these days roll around.  I am just so proud of the young lady you are much too quickly becoming.  I don't need to see a report card to know that you are so amazingly smart and inquisitive.  You make me so proud of you in the wonderful way you are with your friends and family.  Your willingness to work hard to get those amazing grades and never miss a day of school.  Of course, your outspokenness make us butt heads at times but I wouldn't want you any other way. 

Final Day of Fourth Grade


Soon we will be celebrating your 10th birthday.  I can only imagine how much more wonderful and fulfilling the next ten years of being your mommy with be. 
You make me so happy to say,
that's my daughter!
I love you, S'ghetti.
