Guess what we've been doing lately?
Well, somebody's growing up, one holiday M&M at a time.
It's a big deal to us!
"I want a fish sticker!" she says. And, "Great job! I get a GIANT TREAT!"
She even busted into the bathroom when Mommy was taking a potty break, opened my hand, slapped me five, and said, "GREAT JOB, MOMMY!"
She's kind of a Mommy herself.
"Laila pie, I change your diaper. Come HERE now."
Carly Bear, you are more precious to me than all my possessions times ten. Words can't express how much I love you. I would do our traumatic birth experience together again in a heartbeat. You are sensitive, discerning, and cautious. You care deeply for your baby sisters, and your heart is broken if we talk too harshly to you. Thank you for teaching us to be like you - tender, discerning, and sensitive.
I pray that God equips me with enough guts to be a good mom for you. You are going to change the world. Well, whoever steps into yours, for sure. Congratulations, big girl.
