Turning 6 Birthday LetterCelebratory & Excited

Dear Lily, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You're SIX today! I'm the Birthday Fairy, and every year on your special day, I sprinkle extra magic into the world just for you. When you woke up this morning, did the air feel a little more sparkly? That was me! Six is such an amazing age, Lily. You can read books, ride bikes, tell jokes, and you've learned how to be a wonderful friend. I heard you shared your favorite toy with your friend Ava when she was sad. That made MY heart grow three sizes. Today is YOUR day. Every candle on your cake is a wish waiting to come true. Blow them all out and make it a good one! Happy, happy birthday, sweet girl. With sprinkles and starlight, The Birthday Fairy

Double Digits Letter (age 10)Proud & Encouraging

Dear Ethan, Ten. Double digits. This is a big one. I'm not going to talk to you like a little kid because, well, you're not one anymore. You're ten, and that means something. It means a whole decade of growing, learning, stumbling, getting back up, and becoming the person you're going to be. Here's what I've noticed about you at ten, Ethan: you're brave. Not the loud kind of brave — the real kind. The kind where you try things even when you're nervous. Where you stand up for your friends. Where you keep working at something even when it's hard. This next year? It's going to be yours. Not because everything will be easy — but because you're ready for it. Happy birthday, Ethan. Double digits look good on you. The Birthday Fairy
