Birthday Girl
Tomorrow my daughter turns 2.
Two years since she was cut from my body after trying vainly (wrong side up and head cranked to the side) for 26 hours to come out the regular way.
This past year she's gone from walking to running. From babbling to talking. From babyhood to toddlerhood. She's a person now, not just an adorable blob that occasionally smiles as a reward but actually has her own thoughts and opinions about things, nevermind that i can only understand those opinions approximately half the time.
She sleeps in her own bed. She tells me when she wants something. She understands when something is funny. She understands the purpose of "time out". She knows her letters. She can count to 10 but usually skips 4, 5 and 6. She talks in her sleep. She loves her grandparents. She eats broccoli with gusto. She gives hugs and kisses like a pro.
What can i say? I'm in love with my kid. She absolutely lights up my life and, even though it's heavenly to get time to myself, i adore spending time with her.
Happy almost-Birthday little girl.
