Ode to My Salami Face

Thank you for being my silly little girl.

Thank you for making me laugh all day long.

Thank you for kissing my boo boo's and telling me how much you missed me.

Thank you for being so happy that I'm home.

Thank you for always "finding" my rings and giving them to me in case I "forgot" them.

Thank you for being patient with Momma when she wants to do something on the computer.

Thank you for always being so polite by remembering to say "Please", "Thank you" and "Bless you" even though you're only 2 and a half.

Thank you for telling me you love me.

Thank you for always telling me "Good Morning" and reminding me that "It's a beautiful day!".

Thank you for reminding me every day when I look into your face why I love your Father.

Thank you for all your knock-knock jokes (olive you too!).

Thank you for always including all of our loved ones when we tell stories (and Daddy and Nana and Aunt Suzi and Baby Mitchell and Ah-Da and Papa and Griffy!!!! and Aurora and Collin and Jonah and Cody!!! Cody's my cousin! and Auntie and Uncle...).

Thank you for finally letting me put your hair in pony tails and tolerating me having to take all the tangles out.

Thank you for putting up with all the medicines and creams we have to put on you all the time.

Thank you for talking just as fast as your Momma and Daddy so you can keep up with our conversations.

Thank you for not swearing even though you hear your parents & grandparents do it.

Thank you for wanting to include me in everything you do.

Thank you for always making sure that if you kiss or hug me, that you kiss and hug Daddy too.

Thank you for also wanting constant group hugs and kisses.

Thank you for being patient with Momma and waiting for the right time to come to me. You know how long I waited for you and sometimes gave up hope that you would ever be in my life, but you always let Ah-da know that you were still there waiting.

Thank you for most of all for being my Faythe Isabelle... my silly, funny, chatty, and beautiful Salami Face!
