- Nine years ago today, at 7:29am in Berkeley, CA, I had a baby! Go me!
- She is a completely spectacular kid, funny and smart and an absolute joy to be around. Go me! (yes, I am taking credit for some of that.)
- The last nine years have been the most fabulous, hilarious, awe-inspiring and educational of my life. Go me!
- I somehow managed to get the daughter I always dreamed of having. Go me!
So now that I have made this all about me...
Happy birthday to my kidlet Sophie, who has taught me nearly everything I know about love, wonder, and being a mother.
