a letter to g

miss princess poundcake,

from the day you were finally placed in my arms and on my chest and you stretched up that face of yours and kept locking your eyes with mine i have been deeply in love with you.
you are the most amazing girl i have ever met.
what i love most about you is how you find excitement in the small details of life just as much as the larger ones.
i love watching you color, build, destroy, do summer saults, dance, twirl around my finger and climb up to the tallest slide and let out a squeal of delight on your way down.
i can't believe that you are two now.
the time moves by oh so fast.
you are beautiful in every possible way.
i love your kisses and the way you say santa makes my heart melt.
cuddling with you is the best.
i love when you say, "thanks katie!"
i adore when you call me mom.
saying thanks is also your way of trying to get your way.
for example picking up a wrapped Christmas present followed by looking at me and saying,
"thanks katie!" and then opening it.
oh you are a smart tinkerbell lover!
you "rarr" when you are upset which just makes me laugh and you "rarr" louder.

thank you for teaching me how important it is to be present in life.
you also have shown me how simple life really is and how precious.

i am so blessed that the Lord blessed me with the opportunity to be your mom and friend.

love you always little one,

mom
