You are SEVEN years old today. It seems like just yesterday you were toddling down the hallway of our Columbia house to knock on the door as I began working from home for the first time. You have always enjoyed being where I am and I have always loved having you around.
You are always full of energy. Sometimes this looks like laughing and screaming for joy and sometimes it means crying and screaming bloody murder, but rest assured, somewhere, for some reason, you are always screaming!
You love running around and jumping and hugging with all your might. You hug like it's a contest and more often than not, you win.
You love your friends well. You love writing notes to your friends and church and enjoy receiving little notes from them.
You like little kids and enjoy looking after them. You are growing in your ability to discern what is helpful and what isn't. You often help to look after the babies in the morning while mom is doing school and you like being responsible for them.
You are scrappy. Always have, always will be if I had to guess. You like to mix things up. You don't like being left out of the action and often create some if there is nothing else going on.
You are smart. You are doing well at school and you genuinely like learning stuff.
You are pretty. You have a great smile, beautiful eyes, and cute hair.
You like wearing dresses, but you also like getting your dresses dirty. Well, I'm not so sure that you like getting them dirty as much as you are indifferent to whether or not they get dirty in the process of doing things that you do like. You do not shy away from a game because you might get dirty. You dive in.
You are a great daughter and I love being your dad. I hope you have a great birthday and that your seventh year of life turns out to be the very best so far.
To Juni!
Happy Birthday!
Love,
Dad
