Happy birthday Lavella

Dear Lavella,

On Sunday, you turned four years old.

You, my precious girl, continue to inspire, astound and challenge me.

Your gorgeous curls, your quirky sense of style, those worried little eyebrows, and the way your mood can turn on a dime...

I love you.

Your silly sense of humor, the way you put your tiny hand in mine when we walk, your tender hugs...

I love you.

I love your little voice, your made-up words, your gorgeous smile.
