My Dearest, Sweetest, Juliette Michelle,
It's a couple of days before your fourth birthday. Happy Birthday Darling Girl!
Mommy loves you more than the moon and all the stars in the sky.
Juliette at 4:
You are so incredibly smart. You have a rather large vocabulary and say the funniest things at times.
You are also very sensitive. Your feelings can get hurt rather easily.
You love your family. You say it all the time. "I love all my family".
You REALLY love your Daddy. I do believe he's your best friend. You and Daddy "nuggle" all the time.
You love your sister. You have adjusted really well from being an only child to having a sister. Genevieve loves you. She thinks you are the most hilarious person on the planet. You can usually calm her down when she is fussy. You sing to her. In our family, we make up our own little songs to sing to each other. Usually derivatives of existing songs. When you were a baby your dad would sing "It's ok, It's ok" A little song that Pearl Jam does.
You sing this to Genevieve when she's crying. It's precious. We've also been singing "Sweet Genevieve" to her instead of "Sweet Caroline".
Back to family, you really do love us. :) Daddy, Grandad, and Nana are your favorites. Probably because they all spoil you to no end.
You love "Your Boys"..... this includes any cousin, uncle, or stranger that you think is cute. :)
Right now Xavier (Xavie) and Uncle Thomas are your favorite boys. Good Lord, I'm worried about how boy crazy you're going to be when you're older.
Last Sunday I took you to Disney Live to see Sofia the First and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. You were amazed. I've never seen a child so into something. Your smile....priceless. The look on your face reflected the magic that you felt. I hope that you never ever lose that. I love that look, and I remember the feeling of being a child who felt the magic of things; playing pretend, Christmas, being able to believe in things.....
You have been blessed with the most amazing heart. I fear the day when something breaks it for the first time. I am always here for you. Forever. Please know that. Even if for some reason I'm not actually physically with you, I will always be here. In your heart.

I love you Juliette. I leave you with this. From the moment you were born, I knew this was your song. And it's even more true as time has gone on.
Happy, Happy, Birthday.

Everything she sees
she says she wants.
Everything she wants
I see she gets.
That's my daughter in the water
everything she owns I bought her
Everything she owns.
That's my daughter in the water,
everything she knows I taught her.
Everything she knows.
Everything I say
she takes to heart.
Everything she takes
she takes apart.
That's my daughter in the water
every time she fell I caught her.
Every time she fell.
That's my daughter in the water,
I lost every time I fought her.
Yeah, I lost every time.
Every time she blinks
she strikes somebody blind.
Everything she thinks
blows her tiny mind.
That's my daughter in the water,
who'd have ever thought her?
Who'd have ever thought?
That's my daughter in the water,
I lost everytime I fought her
Yeah, I lost every time.
