Our Beautiful Arabella â¤ď¸
Where do I even beginâŚ
It only feels like yesterday that a tiny 6-month-old Arabella was coming through my door for the very first time. Today, at almost 4 years old, I have the privilege of watching her take the next exciting step as she leaves my setting to begin her journey at big school.
Over the last few years, I have had the honour of watching Arabella grow into the most beautiful little girlâinside and out. She has blossomed into someone who is kind, caring, funny, confident, and full of love. She hasnât just been a child in my setting; she has become part of our family, and a huge part of my heart.
Seeing her reach every milestone and flourish in every area of her development has been so rewarding. She has embraced every challenge with a smile and has grown into such a wonderful little role model. Always looking after her little sister and the younger children, she earned the nickname of our âsetting mummyâ with her gentle, nurturing nature.
One of my proudest moments has been teaching Arabella to swim from such a young age and watching her grow into a confident little swimmer, now achieving Stage 2. To have been part of so many special moments in her life is something I will always treasure.
Arabella has become my little best friend, and it is impossible to put into words just how much I am going to miss her. The laughter, cuddles, chats, and the little moments weâve shared have created memories that I will cherish forever.
Arabella, thank you for letting me be such a special part of your early years. Watching you grow has been one of the greatest privileges, and I couldnât be prouder of the amazing little girl you have become.
As you put on your school uniform and take those exciting first steps into your next adventure, always remember just how loved, kind, clever, and capable you are. I know you are going to shine in everything you do.
This isnât goodbyeâitâs simply âsee you later.â I canât wait to hear all about your big school adventures when you come to collect your little sister.
Good luck, my gorgeous girl. Keep smiling, keep believing in yourself, and never stop being the wonderful Arabella we all know and love.
You will always have a special place in my heart. đđ
