The Best Big Sister

Giuliana, my number 1 girl, the girl who made me a mom...where do I start? I am so proud of you in all you've done in the past three, almost four years. You are incredibly independent, smart, and have the biggest personality. You keep us on our toes with the attitude, sass, and ability to have full on conversations! You have embraced your role as big sister in the best way possible and we couldn't be more proud of you and so happy that you will have a sister to share your life with. The bond you'll have is like no other and I hope you cherish every second of it.

You helped me so much while I was pregnant and loved to kiss my belly, rub lotion on me, and give kisses to your sister. Now that she's here you want to help with everything. You like watching diaper changes ("let's see what kind of stuff we got in there!"), washing bottles, and singing your own songs to her. She's so lucky to have you!

You've been doing great in school and love to talk about your friends and pretend you're the teacher with all of your toys. It's hard to believe you will be four in just a couple of months. I have no idea where the years have gone. I want you to stay little forever and I wish I could freeze time. Your imagination and your innocence are something I never want you to lose. The world is a tough and crazy place and I'm not ready for you to grow up so fast. Thank you for being the best big sister to Ava, we love you so much!
