On the night you were born, every star, in every sky, 

Shone down in jealousy, at the twinkle in your eye. 

~Craig Castle

What a ray of sunshine you are...I couldn't have asked for a better baby.  

I truly wouldn't change anything about you 

You have always been such a doll.

I feel like I blinked and now you are one... 

I can't believe how fast it's gone.
The day you were born was the best day of our lives.

My greatest desire for you at this point in your life is for you to have a happy childhood.  

One where you can be carefree and just be a kid.   

Play with dolls, make friends, play tag and hide and seek

Go swimming, feed ducks, ride carousels

Blow dandelions until the seeds all fall off,

Search for four leaf clovers

Jump in leaf piles

Make necklaces out of flowers...

you know the ones...the white flowers that you find in grass

Play hop scotch and jump rope

Monkey bars and dodgeball

Fishing and horseback riding

Eat ice cream cones and cotton candy

Get pulled around in wagons

Learn to ride a bike

Go rollerskating, dance

Gymnastics, Fingerpaint

Ferris wheels and face paint

Popcorn and movies

Blow bubbles and capture bugs

Story time and puppets

Unicorns and make believe

Bubble gum and lollipops

This is my greatest desire for you.

Be a child, have fun.

The rest can wait.

Mommy & Daddy love you, little Sunshine.
