Anna Kate, we loved celebrating your birthday week with you!  You are such a little joyful daughter!!! You call yourself the middle child and your sisters the \u201cside children.\u201d That\u2019s hilarious to me. I\u2019m a middle child and never thought of that. If you get upset, you\u2019ll say to Noelle, \u201cYou\u2019re just a side child!\u201d She\u2019ll say, \u201cNo, I\u2019m the first child!\u201d But you guys love each other hard too! During your 4 year old shots, all you wanted was, \u201cSissy!!!\u201d You kept calling out for Noelle through your tears. You guys cuddled the whole night when she got home from school that day; and don\u2019t forget Rose!  She looks up to you in ways that are so special! She\u2019ll just come and lay on top of you, and you will chuckle with joy! You love taking care of her, holding her hand, and leading her into another room to play. She totally trusts you and when you are there, she feels safe and comes alive! To Mommy and Daddy, you exemplify FUN and happiness!  You are not old enough to feel heart-broken yet.  I watch and learn from your innocence!  Nothing phases you or gets to you\u2026 you are just like your Daddy!  You guys have a special gift that protects you from the harshness of the world.  It\u2019s something that can\u2019t be taught.  I pray you use it to live a stress-free and happy life, being a cheerful example to everyone you meet, while displaying empathy along the way (which you\u2019ve got lots of too)!   <\/p>\n

\u2026 which brings me to your soft side!  You are a sweetheart, that\u2019s all there is to it. Everyone you meet  couldn\u2019t agree more! Sometimes when you get in trouble and upset with us, after you\u2019ve had a time out and say you\u2019re sorry, you\u2019ll add, \u201cIt\u2019s okay, I\u2019m just a little girl\u2026 I still love you and I still care about you!\u201d<\/p>\n

Several times during the past couple of months when I\u2019ve been changing Rose\u2019s diaper, you\u2019ll come sit next to me and admire her. You will say how much you love her and pat her tummy, and it\u2019s all so sweet. Twice you\u2019ve said, \u201cI love her born feet!\u201d It took me a while to get that you were saying you love the feet of a newborn, or in this case, Rose\u2019s. Apparently, you\u2019ve heard people say \u201cI love newborn feet!\u201d and so you say \u201cborn feet\u201d trying to copy. Cute thing is, Rose is 2 years old now, and you are still admiring those \u201cborn feet.\u201d That\u2019s just how sweet you are! <\/p>\n

You are hilarious every single day!!!  I try to get it all in your journal but you say and do way too many funny things in a day.  I wish I could think of everything there is to shout out to the world just how cool Anna Kate Pond is! We are so excited you are here and love watching those big brown eyes sparkle and dance with excitement for each new day! Thanks for hanging out with us! We love you forever and always, Cutie Kate!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
