I am so happy to say that I no longer have children in the single digits. My youngest is now in the DDC - the double digit club.
A whole day, mid-pandemic, of celebrating the sweet little miss that drifted into my life one day before her scheduled arrival - because I had pleaded with God to allow her to be born before the December Twenties. He heard my cry then - as he does now - and every moment in between.
She's fun and feisty. She's strongly opinionated, likes to correct me if I'm wrong - or even thinking about being wrong. She's quick. Like super quick to come up with a reason for something, even if it might be a smidge off base.
She's also extremely compassionate, has big feelings and big tears. She feels all the big stuff -and the stuff that I think shouldn't matter.
She's a helper. Her teachers love her. She wants to please, and be right, and be first and be in front. She's a born leader.
It'll bite her in the butt from time to time, but I'm glad she's got it.
She's an extrovert, a snuggler, loves her stuffies, her dog and her brother.
And I get to be her mom.
Here's to your next decade, sweet girl - can't wait to watch you grow.
