18. Personality traits: sweet and sour.  :)  strong willed, kind-hearted, thoughtful (you always get me a drink of water when I come back from running and its so thoughtful and sweet!), really fun, snuggly, loving and affectionate.  And can be very mean if crossed.   Yikes.  Tendency toward shyness.

19. Our thoughts about you from the last year: Oh Mia Mia Mia.  We love you tremendously.  You are the sweetest of the sweet and then you can be the exact opposite of that when you are mad.  You love to run around and climb and jump.  You say you want to be a gymnastics girl and a mom when you grow up, and you practice both of those things a LOT.  You like to tell your little brother what to do and you take such good care of your baby dolls.  You are affectionate and come up to me and kiss me no less than 7 times a day.  You are always telling us that you love us.  You like for people to tell you that you are beautiful, and you are a beautful little girl, but more important than your outward beauty is the beauty and the loving spirit you are inside.  Cultivate loving kindness and that is what truly makes someone beautiful.  WE love you sweet Mia and could not imagine our lives and our family without the spunkiness and fun you bring to us. Happy Birthday!
