Amelie is 8

Happy Birthday (on the 8th) lovely girl 🙂

I’ve been thinking of words to describe you – vivacious, audacious, outrageous, exceptional, intelligent, competitive, focused, perceptive, delicate, dreadful, adorable.

You’ve been spectacular since the minute you were born. These last few weeks, yet again, you’ve awed me with your intuitive ability to understand, to comfort, to express yourself. If children are fixed in personality by the time they are 7, i’m glad you are fixed as you are. (Although your table manners leave something to be desired!)

You were a pleasure to give a birthday to this year, even more than normal. Thank you to the Barts and Beans for the impromptu party we cooked up – bowling was lots of fun.

We love you Amelie.
