Happy 10th, Sammy Whammy!

 



At the risk of sounding, once again, like a broken record...10???!!! HOW IN THE HELLLLLLL??

My dearest Pookie,

I don't know how we are already here at Double Digits! As they say: long days, short years. Time flies with you though, my sweet/spicy girl, thanks to your loyal heart, your sensitive spirit, your hysterical antics, your perfect comic timing, your fierce independence. You wiggle your way into the heart of everyone who's ever known you, with that mischievous sparkle in your eye 💓



Your current favorites:

Playing calcetto, track, swimming with Irene, candy, gnam gnam (chicken wings), Sun (sushi/Chinese restaurant), traveling, tv/tablet time, movies, being with your friends and around people, playing games, your gumball machine that Sofia gave you for your birthday, surprises, rollerskating/rollerblading, Woodloch, dogs and animals, not having any homework, putting makeup on with your sister, playing all sorts of sports outside, having people read to you, shopping (especially at Tiger), when we let you use our cell phones, gelato, barbies & OMG dolls, telling and making up jokes, presents, squishies, slime and little knick-knacks, family, vacation, freedom.



Your current hates:

Getting in trouble, having to sit still for too long, when your sister annoys you, doing what you're told, when people don't respect your boundaries, having to practice piano when you don't feel like it, arguments and anger, talking about your feelings, having to sit and listen to adults chat, boredom, boys (unless they're very quiet and know their place 😂), having to wear a smock to school, talking on the phone/videochat for too long, cake that isn't ice cream cake, reading when you don't feel like it (are you sensing a theme here....?).


You complete our family, Sami, in the absolutely best and brightest way possible, and I thank my lucky stars every day that we get a front row seat as you grow up. I could not be more proud of you, my sweet girl.


Love you forever,

Mommy (and Papà and Sofi)
