To my Femke, who is turning 4 tomorrow,
To my out of this world Femke, my beautiful 3 year old, for one more day.
To my out of this world Femke, my beautiful 3 year old, for one more day.
I love that you believe in fairies and mermaids, and think that gnomes pretend to be pretend..... I love that you see see good in everything, and I wish I could bottle your belly laugh-if laughter is the best medicine you’d be making everyone better.
You and your sister and my best creations ever, your dad my most fabulous choice.
I hope you had fun at your party yesterday and will enjoy tomorrow too- I remember your birth, and the last 4 years like it was yesterday.
I love that a gift from the heart means as much or more than a gift of money to you, and you say the best thing are mummy cuddles in the morning.
I love how you combine non-combinable words that are just so you, and I live how you give me hairtiles in the shower every day (Hairstyle? Ponytail?). I am just sorry I am never brave enough to leave the house with them...
I love how last year all you wanted was your own wagon, so you could help daddy in the yard, and how you-when you pick your own clothes I hope we see nobody who knows I’m em&femme designs...
I love how you’re too scared to go to bed tonight as its the last night you’ll be falling asleep as a 3 year old (mummy, when I’ve turned 4-will I ever be 3 again?)
I love how your love for me is all consuming
I love you, and happy birthday to you.....
xx Mum
ps This will be waiting for you when you wake up in the morning

Ilja that was amazing to read!
My eldest turned 18 on thursday, and I would love to be able to say what I feel as eloquently as you did, (to Femke), to my Zac!
I hope you all had an awesome 4th birhday party!!
love that little letter to her, you need to print it and scrapbook it!!! I felt that it true came from the heart and it was as though you were talking to me!! (although obviously knew you were!!! hehehe)
