The most beautiful Honey Chicken you ever did see is ELEVEN! 🍯 🐥💛
This has got to be your busiest summer yet. You and I keep the roads hot, chauffeuring you to swim practices, swim meets, volleyball games, and an occasional gym class. You’ve dabbled in so many different extracurriculars over the years, searching for your “thing”. Well Dear, we think swimming might just be it for you. Being a member of the Athens Gators Swim Team has brought you so much joy the past few months and we love watching you complete!
You’re the best student. I got a message from one of your teachers this past year. She said, “She is such a blessing to have in the classroom- I know I can always count on her for anything I need and ask for (and even if I don't ask for it). She can read me like a book and just knows when I need a little extra assistance like passing out some papers this morning, extra cleaning, etc.” Another teacher told you that you were his, “faith in humanity.”
You’re still the biggest book lover I’ve ever known. It’s remarkable how quickly you devour the pages and move right along to the next one.
You’ve got some spunk, Little Lady. On one of the last days of school, something didn’t go your way and you said, “Awe, fiddlesticks!” Some punk kid made fun of you for saying fiddlesticks, and you barked back with, “You’re annoying and I don’t like you.” You were so proud of yourself when I picked you up from school that day - and honestly, we were too. You’re learning to stand up for yourself.
We recently filled out a survey for your pediatrician before we go to your next well visit. It asked if you felt hopeless. We filled in the bubble next to the word never just after you said, “Heck, no! My future is bright!” And your future is so very bright, Chick! You have a brilliant mind. You have a generous and loving heart. God has great plans for you.
Off to middle school you go!
I love you. I’m proud of you. I’m thankful you’re mine. 🩷
