Be My Valentine

    Go ahead--try to resist!    

Happy Valentine's Day. I think that, next to Christmas, of course, Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. Mommy says that Valentine's Day is the day you tell the people you love that you love them. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Shouldn't you tell them more often that once a year? I know Mommy and Daddy tell me every day that they love me--mostly when they're tucking me in and hoping that I will go to sleep. But they tell me and I tell them every day and I hope that everyone else does that, too. It's very nice to go to sleep knowing that the ones you love and trust the most love you too.

Just in case I haven't told you lately--

I love you Daddy--

    • Because you always hug me right when you get home from work
    • Because you share your ice cream with me
    • Because you fix my hair in the morning
    • Because you ask me if I was warm and comfortable in the night
    • Because I feel safe knowing that you will take care of me.

I love you Mommy--

    • Because you ask if I had a good day and listen when I answer
    • Because you sing songs with me in the car
    • Because you read me stories and use funny voices no matter who is listening
    • Because all my software is on your computer
    • Because you make sure I have everything I need (and most of what I want)

I love you, Mimi and Papa--

    • Because you make sure I have everything I need at your house
    • Because you have Barbie sheets on the bed, even when I'm not there
    • Because you are just as proud as Mommy and Daddy when I learn something new
    • Because you always have popsicles in the freezer
    • Because you call me on the phone and talk to just me
    • Because you always make me feel like the most special girl in the world

I love you, Sissy --

    • Because you talk to me even when you are busy
    • Because you watch Little Bear and Blue's Clues with me
    • Because you have all those cool Disney movies
    • Because you chase me all around the house
    • Because you always help me when I need it

I love you, Micah--

    • Because you are more interesting that my dolls
    • Because I can get your bottles and blankets for you
    • Because you make me feel like a big girl

I hope I never forget to say "I love you" to the people in my life. I know that, as I grow older, my list will grow. But I also know that, no matter how long my list is, my heart will hold them all.

Love, Claire
