Dear Ava's Husband

Dear Ava’s husband,

I think about you from time to time and want you to know that I pray for you. I pray that you are a godly strong leader. This little girl is one feisty chic.

I am sorry I can’t do more to make her girly… I really do try. Well, in her defense, she IS somewhat girly and likes her princess stuff and jewelry. But quite honestly when she grows up I wouldn’t be surprised if she climbs mountains, surfs and scales rock walls.

I don’t think the girl will ever take dance… I might force her too but I have a feeling she will want to some sort of free style thing she makes up on her own. I really hope she doesn’t want to play on the football team in high school.

If you ever get into a fight with her, just prepare yourself now. You are going to have to learn how to gently hold your ground. Don’t get in her face. She definitely won’t like that. It kinda comes out in a high pitched scream...

Oh and I am really sorry if she ever hits you. I am trying to work with her on that, for your sake.

Basically she is a little fireball full of passion and love. Smart, determined, outgoing… everyone falls in love with her.

She is going to need someone to support that, protect that, guide that, and encourage that.

That someone will someday be you.

And I think of you from time to time, praying that you will be just as amazing as she is because she is gonna need you, just like I needed her Dad.

Love, Ava’s Mommy

PS. I know that’s a lot to get from an almost 2 year old but that’s my Ava.
