My sweet valentine baby turns 11 today ... and her valentine birthday suits her so very much. She is the most amazing young girl. Sweet and lovable - our little valentine, best present ever.
Some say the "tween years" are awkward and hard. there are hormones and pimples, and body's maturing ..... but Miss Lilli is a very mature girl, who seems to take it all in her stride - well except for the fact that her hair is turning very very curly!! she doesn't like that so much. Funnygirl asked if she could take a straightener to camp - because "she couldn't deal with her hair otherwise". Your Aunt Sea would be proud Lilli xx
Lilli loves art, we took her to the Australian art gallery in the Christmas break, she whispered the whole way around the Sidney Nolan Galleries what the paintings were about how he did them and why he did .... my mumma's heart was bursting with pride. This is her thing, her love and she totally owns it. Not always easy to be the middle child when both older and younger siblings are seriously crazy smart. She does it well by by finding her own beat, being her own person, slowly she is becoming less anxious and more confident and I can't wait to see what she brings to our lives as she matures.
No doubt that Lilliana is a beautiful girl, since she was 6 months old people would stop me alllll the time to talk to her, and tell me how gorgeous she was (like I didn't know) we have had plenty of suggestions that she would be great as a child model .... but that is soooo not her. She is so very shy, and quiet and so very very unaware of how gorgeous she is- we love that :)
If I could have anything for Valentines day, it would be her, all over again.
Love you darling girl, may you always feel loved and honoured and blessed.
Mumma and dadda
xx
