Nine

9. You are so easy to please.

8. You are so incredibly smart.

7. You are one of the cutest kids since the beginning of time.

6. You have the most precious little nose, and I love love love to pinch the cute end of it.

5. You love babies.

4. You are so sensitive to other people's feelings.

3. You love to read.

2. You have those precious moles: one just under your right eyebrow, one on your cheek, one on the end of your little nose, one behind your ear, and one on your back that I always feel when I'm scratching your back.

1. You still think being just like me is great.




Rhiannon,

Nine years ago, I was about to become your mother. I was only a child myself -- 20 years old! -- but I knew it was perfect timing. I felt like I had waited for you my whole life. And you haven't disappointed me the first time. I'm so happy to be your mother. I love you. Happy birthday.

Love,
Momma
