Dear Elise,
Almost five years ago we brought you home.
You have captured my heart in the way that I'm sure only daughters can. There is nothing better than the way you hug me and say "I'll never let you go ..."
You are one of the toughest little girls I know. You fall down more than anyone I know and you pick yourself up and keep going like you meant to do that. It is not that you are without grace but you live a little on the edge between walking, skipping and dancing all at the same time. Falling is just the price you pay for having that much bounce and spirit inside.
Your kindness towards others is humbling at times. If you have something good, like candy, you always seem to give some away, even to your brother. Speaking of your brother I can tell how much you love him and want to be doing things just like him. Is it really that much fun to aggravate him?
You willingness to go down the big slides always makes me feel so proud of you. Don't ever stop.
