4 Reasons I’m so Lucky
crafts, adventures, and she always plays silly songs for us to sing and dance to. She has everything set up for us when we wake up, and I always love to see what crazy adventure she has planned for the day.
Last month, on Feb. 2, I turned 2 1/2! Can you believe it? My family threw a big half-birthday party to celebrate. We went out to dinner, and I got to blow out candles and make cookies with my mommy. It was so much fun! Now that I’m 2 1/2, I’m basically a big kid, and I am really starting to think about how lucky I am. There are so many things that make me smile and laugh every day! Here are four reasons I’m the luckiest girl ever. 1. I’m lucky that my big brother, Finn, is my best friend. He’s taught me to be brave, independent, and tough.

It makes me happy when we are all together, being loud, silly, and making messes. 2. I have the best daddy in the world. He is so patient, kind, and fun! I like to use him as a jungle gym, and he’s really good at reading books to me. He gives me a bath every single night and makes me breakfast every single morning. And my daddy is pretty lucky that I wake up when it’s still dark outside so he gets lots of play time with me before he goes to work every day!
4. Books show up on my doorstep constantly. The
doorbell rings, Mommy opens a box, and then it’s reading time! Our friend named Amazon sends them to us. I’ve never met Amazon, but she seems like a friend I’m REALLY lucky to have!
I think it’s important to remember all the reasons we’re lucky every day. When you take a moment to think about it, you might be surprised to realize how lucky you are, too!
3. My mommy is so fun. She works every night when we go to bed. Not on law firm stuff but on things for Finn and me! She plans science experiments,
