You love sketching and baking. You love cheese...dear lord do you love cheese! You eat Chocolate Cinnamon Toast Crunch for Breakfast! You have gorgeous freckles on your nose and forehead. You try your hardest to do a cartwheel. You love to swim and can do everything you dream you can do on land in the water!
If I could find a song for everything you have to learn, you would get an A on every test. You love people without bias. You stand up for the little guy. You love babies and animals! You make me laugh every single day...and some days you make me scream. I hope you remember much more laughs than screams. You can play dodge ball better than any other girl your age I have ever seen. You are silly and sometimes I have to remind you to not push silly into obnoxious...so you are just like me.
This year, you learned Tap Dance, Piano, and the recorder ( ugh...that recorder) You learned your times tables...by song, of course. You are like a grandma when it comes to making sure you always have a bra on.
You went to Zoo Camp, Overnight Girl Scout Camp and we went to Puerto Rico, St Maarten, St. Lucia, St. John, St Kitts and Barbados.
You struggle with a little anxiety and that scares me sometimes. Some days I have to pray for more patience than others....and then I remember that I struggle sometimes too...we are a lot the same.
You ask me "can I ask you a question" 100 times a day.
You want to be grown and independent but you still want to snuggle and sleepin my bed when Dad goes on business trips.
You are stubborn...like your dad...
You are a leader....like me.....oh and your dad.
You roll your eyes and some days I want to slap them and make them stick that way.
and some days I have to remind myself that you are 10!
You are beautiful goose...just magnificent...and I can hardly believe that we are more than 1/2 way through your childhood. I blinked.
We love you Aud, beyond measure. Our hopes for you are great...but simple....be kind, show people the Jesus in you, be a friend to everyone, try your best.
Happy Birthday!
We love you!
