Dear Ella,Today is your birthday! I cannot believe that our chubby, angelic, first little bundle of joy is already 3! This year marks a milestone- you are now officially no longer a baby or toddler. Being 3 means you've graduated on to be a true big girl! My oh my you've grown and changed so much this year... I know a song that speaks the words of my heart- this is my wish for you sweet girl!
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you know how much your daddy and I love you Ella Bell! Happy Happy Birthday!
