Abbie - 28 months

To my big girl Abbie,

Well sweetie, our time together at home has officially come to an end. Mommy goes back to work tomorrow and you and Camila will be spending your days with Mom and Abuelo. I hope and I pray that you and your sister transition into our new routine easily and make beautiful memories with Mom and Abuelo.  You my darling little girl, were the reason mommy had headaches a lot. J You challenged me in more ways than one and you still know how to push me and press my buttons to make me upset. At the same time, I think we learned a lot about each other in the process. You have grown up so much these past 4 ½ months Abbie. You are incredibly smart and you amaze me each day. Although some of our days were tough, I always went to bed knowing I was meant to be your mommy and I always thanked God for choosing me, along with your daddy, to raise you. You are an incredible little girl and I can’t believe you’re my daughter. There is so much I want to say to you yet I can’t find the words. I just hope you learn to realize that mommy is working and that leading by example; you learn that it’s possible for a woman to balance a career and a family. I hope you’re proud of your mommy Abbie.
Since daddy went back to work, you get so excited when he gets home. You announce to me that he’s home, you run to the door and you scream “hi daddy!” Ever since the first time you did that, I’ve longed for you to get excited when I get home from work too. Is it odd that I want you to miss me? I hope our time apart during the day brings us closer together.

Although you’ve done so many things to make me proud of you, the one thing that stands out the most is how much you love your sister. Although we had typical moments of wanting some attention, you have never once shown any jealousy towards your sister. In fact, you smother her with your love from the moment she wakes up and when you’re apart, you always ask where she is. This is how I know that giving you a sister is the best gift we could have ever given you.
Ok Abbie, continue to make me proud ok? Mom will be tired since both of my girls is a lot of work so please be a big helper to her and make her days easy. Always remember that though we’re apart, my heart is ALWAYS with you and your little sister. I love you Abigail. Te quiero mucho mucho mi NiƱa.
