Adelaide Jane: 11 1/2 Years Old

 Dearest Adelaide Jane,

It feels like time just keeps moving faster and faster. I feel like I blinked and here we are well into the tween years. 

The past 6 months have been a time of challenging growth~ where you’re finding your way in the throws of middle school. Navigating friendships and crushes. All while trying to maintain who you are yet feel included. 





You’re competing as a Level 5 gymnast. Meets in West Virginia , Cincinnati, Louisville & South Carolina. It’s been fun to see these new skills you’re competing; it’s been even more fun to see you be a leader & a great teammate. 




You’ve been a huge helper at home with the new puppies~ Blue & Bear. You are a true mommy to them. Feeding and walking them. Reading to them & cuddling on the couch. 




You’ve also showed a lot of maturity & independence with household chores. Your help doesn’t go unnoticed and is incredibly helpful to our family. 



                                                    

I hope you continue to be kind to all, even when it’s not reciprocated. I hope you wade the waters of middle school with grace and self confidence. You have so much to offer this world~ so keep shining brightly!

I love you!

Love,

Mommy
