My dear Scarlett, I am worried that we spoil you. You throw such beautiful tantrums, that we are starting to give you what you want in lieu of dealing with the tantrum. This has got to stop.
But what is really on my mind is that I see me in you. Is this genetic or is it because you hang out with me all day everyday? I don't know and don't really care. It is a whole other issue how I see Brian in Owen. But, Scarlett in your personality, I see me. I see that you like to push boundaries, but at the same time, pleasing is very important to you. You are affectionate (Owen is not so much). You seem to love music and dancing. You are sensitive. You are emotional. You love to be around other people and communicate and connect with them. I love watching your personality develop.
My hope for you is that while I see that you are sensitive and a pleaser, that you develop you own boundaries, ideals, and morals... whether or not they completley align with your father and i's. I want you to feel empowered to be you. I want you to know who you are. I want you to define yourself, not by your accomplishments, but by the instrinsic qualities that you possses as an individual.
I love you Scarlett Neal and love our journey together and look forward to each day to come.
