Happy 8th

You were a child prayed for...for 2 long years, I longed for another child.  You are an answer to prayer & more!  Your sense of humor is contagious.  You can make something funny out of something that is so not funny.  You can't help but smile all the time, even when you really don't want or mean to.  I feel sorry for you when you are getting in trouble {which does happen quite often} & you are trying so hard to keep a straight face & you just can't.  You don't think it's funny to get in trouble, but you get nervous & you just...smile.  You have a temper, but you easily get over things & you have the ability to forgive & forget almost instantly.  You have more energy than anyone I know.  You are a hard-worker...whether it's working with Daddy, pitching your little heart out, hustling up & down the basketball court, getting your school-work done or helping me around the house.  You always know when to turn on the charm & use your "yes ma'ams" wisely.  Although you try to hard to do everything that your brother does, you are your own person & don't try to compete with him.  You love your little sister & do not hesitate to put anyone in their place who you don't think is being nice to her {including me!}.  You have an incredible imagination.  You are always pretending to be an army man or firefighter.  You like to be different.  You are always willing to share.  And.I.LOVE.You!
