Happy birthday, Marian! It has been four delightful years of being your mom. You make me laugh with your turns off phrase and usage of words that you don’t really know the meaning of. (“You’re so random.”) your enthusiasm for music and dancing, Disney movies and magical ponies, tattoos and stickers, thank you notes and “bucket filling” makes me love all those things too. You are smart (you know how to spell and write your name and many others) and funny (you repeat words you know will make us laugh whether it be, “poop head” or “Jesus Christ!”) and a good listener and a good friend. You adore people and attention. You love fiercely. You are helpful. You love pasta and ice cream and cucumbers. And we love you. Happy 4th birthday.
