Becky’s Birthday

My dearest Becky, this past year I’ve seen you grow physically, intellectually, socially, and emotionally in wonderful ways.  You are one “long drink of water” as my Grandpa would have said, and I’m constantly shocked when I look down and see you’ve outgrown yet another pair of pants.  You grow more and more lovely every day, with your soft brown eyes and wavy brown hair.  Your mind processes information at warp speed, and I love to hear your logical thought processes, your probing insights, and your theological theories.  You process mathematical concepts with an ability far beyond your years, and I’m spellbound watching the gears turn in your head as you figure out how to solve new and difficult equations.  You did exceptionally well in first grade, and I’m excited to see you flourish in second!  You make and keep friends easily and you love nothing more than being giggly and silly with your friends.  You continue to write and tell incredibly imaginative stories.  You shower attention on your brother Danny and you tend to him and his needs like a little mother (I so appreciate all your help with him!).  You and Jimmy love to compete and roughhouse together,  and you and Susie are the best of friends and still love to spend day after day, night after night, in each other’s company.  You have so much more self-control, maturity and humility than even a year ago.  You still love to win, but you are learning to lose with grace – that’s such a huge lesson to learn so young!  Every time I turn around, you have mastered a new concept, ridden a new rollercoaster, read a new book, made a new friend, written a new story, colored a new picture, created a new fantasy land, developed a new skill…you amaze me!
