Today is Syd's 11th birthday. It's hard for me to believe that my baby is eleven but even harder for me to look at her and see a young woman who looks 13 not 11. She is growing so fast! Syd is a beautiful, young woman not just on the outside but on the inside where it really counts.Syd is so caring for not just her family but everyone around her. People love her because she is a delight to be around. I can count on her to do the right thing in any situation.
She is her Daddy's girl. Syd loves to curl up with her Dad and watch a movie. They are quite the pair when shopping for clothes! Both have an excellent sense of style, although her Dad's tends to be more preppy and Syd's a little more funky but they seem to be able to compromise. Syd also has a close relationship with me. It doesn't matter what we do together, we have a ball!
Syd is a great student--she loves to learn new things. I am so glad all of my children have developed this same sense of curiosity. She is also my tomboy. She loves sports of all kinds--not content to just watch but to be right in the action. She is a star player on her girls lacrosse team. You can also find her out playing soccer, kickball, and football with all the guys.
Syd is a beautiful person and I am so fortunate to be her mother. Happy Birthday, babe!
Syd is one of my favorite people in the world! When I first knew her she was in 1st grade and was more than willing to hug me and be my friend. Her example at that time was a teaching time for me, and I will always be grateful for her love, her friendship, and her example to me.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best things about Syd is that she is still willing to give me hugs! (I love them, and I always will.)
Syd IS so beautiful, the older she gets. I love watching her grow, and I look forward to continue to watch this amazing young lady become a wonderful woman!
Love you, Syd! (Aundrea)
