| Your mommy and me. |
Dearest Laila,
I know that you are only a mere 2 months old right now, but I thought that I would write you some words of advice about your momma.
Number 1: Always listen to what she says. She is one smart cookie. I know from experience, dude.
Number 2: Don't be afraid to ask her for advice, even when you are scared of her answer. And if you don't ask her for guidance, she will give it to you anyway, she is great like that!
Number 3: When you are old enough to eat big people food, have your momma make you her famous oatmeal & white chocolate chip cookies and don't forget to wash it down with some milk (you need the calcium!)
Number 4: Let your hair grow! Your mom is really good at doing French braids and fish tails. You probably don't know what those are yet, but trust me, the boys love 'em. If you need someone to do your make-up, when you are old enough of course, fly across the country and come see me. I can do a mean dramatic eye shadow look.
Number 5: Don't forget to take pictures to document. Your mommy is very good at scrap booking and blogging. Don't believe me?! Have her show you her 10 Creative Memory scrapbooks. Amazing. She will teach you the ropes.
Number 6: Please watch Saved by the Bell and Friends, so you can join in our daily quotes. I really want you to and I am sure your mom does too.
Number 7: Don’t be afraid to be imaginative and dress up. It’s the most fun you will ever have. I will tell you about Missa and Applo when you can talk.

Number 8: Since you are the first born, and I know that you will have more siblings some day, can you do me a favor? Can you be the best big sister in the world, like your mom was to me? She taught me more than you know! (Even though that's not hard since you don't know much yet. But you get the idea)
Number 9: Don't let magazines and television tell you how you should act or look like. I know it will be hard being in California around all those beach babes, but be strong and know where you stand! You are going to be a bombshell anyways.
Number 10: Lean not on your own understanding, but acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight. Your mom did this and I am pretty sure she is the best mentor ever.

I love you Laila. Now go take a big nap and poop.

beautifully and thoughtfully written - that brought tears to my eyes.
AMAZING! Thanks for making me cry. I missed out on having my sister growing up!
Thanks sista. I am pretty blessed to have you in my life! (and so is Laila Bug)
That is such a sweet note. Laila is super lucky to have an auntie like Courtney and a mama like Heather!!
