birthday girl

when i think of what i've always dreamed of being only one thing stands out - a mom. my children make my soul happy; they fulfill me in a way nothing else ever could. and raising a girl... well, there aren't words to describe it. i see the way she follows in my footsteps, and it makes me want to be a better person. the best person i could possibly be for her. because right before my eyes she's turning into a young girl. growing by leaps and bounds. there's so much i love about her right now... i just want to bottle her up. she has a great big imagination. she loves to role play - her favorite roles are teacher, mommy and Tinkerbell :) she's suddenly very into girly things like princesses, ballet and barrettes/ponytails. she still has a keen interest in music and loves to sing, dance and play the guitar and harmonica. she's a great big sister, and she has a huge heart full of love. she is our precious girl and she is 3.
