Dear Avril,

It is great to have my little personality girl back, after so many illnesses over Christmas. For an entire week you couldn't do much but lie on the couch and take your medicine, with fever and tummy aches, it was hard to watch.

Speaking of personality you are brimming and it often brings tears to my eyes with pride. One night over Christmas, we were having a dinner party and you looked over at Jamie and said (with no prompting) "Jamie, it's wonderful to have you over for dinner." It was the hit of the night!

Lately we have been watching Adventure Time (though mom doesn't approve). Like your sister, mealtimes have been challenging lately, you have suddenly topped liking anything with 'sauce' - pretty much everything!!!!
