Layla Bug Graduates

Oh my little Layla!  Why must you grow up?!?  Please, please, please don't grow anymore.  Mama needs you to stay the baby.

I know it just isn't possible to freeze time, stick you in my pocket and keep you little forever.  You have grown up so much this past year.  Your personality, your quirkiness and the way to really do run our family are some of the traits I admire most about you. 

Congratulations on finishing pre-school!  You sure have come a long way from clinging to my leg in the mornings!  Miss Donna is smitten with you.  And you have become such a leader for your cousin, Charlotte.

I can't wait to watch you continue to grow!  Just don't grow too fast!

Love you, Layla Bug!
