Dear Little Strong One

Charlotte June, being your mother is an uphill battle sometimes. You know what you want out of life and consider yourself quite good at getting it. Mommy & Daddy don't let you win, and so you waste a lot of playtime screaming and crying - but I know in the end (if we survive to see it), it will be worth it because you'll be a strong, confident woman of God who won't be pushed around and can handle whatever adversity comes your way. 

Today was your last ballet class of the summer, and as far as I'm concerned, your last ballet class ever. Can you announce your retirement at three years old? 

Here you are walking around the pillows, because you were told to jump over them. 

Honey badger don't care.....

Here you are moving your feet into fifth , because everyone else is in first. 

And basically not doing the dance at all in favor of playing with your space marker. 

Get in the assigned spots for the dance? What's it to you? 

You know who you are. Your heart is confident and your plans will be big. I pray you never lose that fire within....even though it may make me old and grey in the process.
