Angel,

I just put you to bed, and I'm now so tired myself I can only write a little. Today you did get another small sticker -- pretty early, too! You got it for telling daddy what you needed, and we put you in diapers. You felt sooo much better, didn't you?

It's true that daddy often knows exactly what you need, sometimes even before you do! But it's also true that daddy needs to hear what's in his angel's little head, and if there's something you need that daddy didn't think of, you're so brave and good for saying what it is! THAT gets a sticker, you brave girl! My baby is rewarded for not letting shyness hold her back.

You're a wonderful, amazing, precious little girl, and I hope your rest is just as heavenly. My love is warming you, honey, and keeping you safe. My last thought as I go to sleep will be your tiny body snuggled up against my chest, with my arm protectively covering you.

Love,
Daddy
