Happy 8th Birthday Harper

Dear Harper,

I can't believe you are eight today.  You are getting so tall and growing so fast.  It won't be long before you catch me.  Eventhough you are turning 8,  you really think you are a teenager.  We have to remind you that you are indeed still a kid.  You are still enjoying Tae Kwon Do.  You are now a purple belt.  You did great in school this year.  You won an award for best girl Spanish student in your class.  You also won two gym awards.  You ran the fastest mile for a second grade girl (8:06).  You also received an award for most consistent mile run in the fall and spring (8:06 and 8:11).  You love to take care of others, whether it is a child with special needs or your brother.  You are always doing something that makes me so proud to be your mom. 

I hope you have the best birthday ever, babycakes.

Love you,

Mom
