Today my baby, yes my baby, is 5 years old. That sounds so old to me. So much more grown up, ready for bigger things and moving on just a little bit. There is something about this little yummy that gets to me. She is funny, she is witty, and sometimes she is downright exasperating! But one look from her, one "You are the best mama ever" and I melt. She is her own person and although I forget on occasion it doesn't take a lot to bring me back. She is growing into this astounding little lady and sometimes I am floored by the things she comes up with. May she grow and continue to amaze and always be herself even when the rest of the world forgets...how important that really is may she always remember!!
This curly haired little pixie of a child is nine today....nine years ago, I was feeling a little icky and went to bed early...only be woken hours later by a gush and the beginning of my little lady to make her way to us. She was two weeks early, and we had no idea if she was a she...but there she was tiny in her 6 lb self and gorgeous, my most vivid memory in the haze of those first few days was how gorgeous her little lips were. The color looked like she had come to us with lipstick on. Everyday this lady shows us how to be grateful and kind and all around better people and we are ever so lucky that she came to us and that we can call her our daughter. She has grand ideas about her place in the world and she seems to be trying on new styles and personalities right now trying to find her fit...so today we let her try on another dimension and have a few blue streaks in her hair at her big salon day with friends. Where this bright, caring , concientious little lady will go is anyone's guess but one thing I am sure of she will go there with grace and gratitude. We love you Bronwyn wishing you many more days of creativity and blossoming!!
