Dear Mackenzie,
You just turned 5 a mere nine days ago but I swear your hand already feels much bigger than it did before your birthday. You and I were holding hands while we walked down the stairs today and I just thought, "Who is this big girl next to me?"
Your sudden maturity hit me again later when we were sitting next to each other on the floor and coloring together. We were both working on a picture of dragonflies when you reached toward me and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. Then you smiled at me and resumed coloring. You'd never fixed my hair like that before and it was so . . . maternal. And sweet. And grown-up!
Love,
Mom
