such a beautiful soul
every bit as sweet as she looks
looks at us and her world with fresh eyes
an uncynical attitude
and an open heart
i have watched her eyes
and listened to her heart
very carefully
for 3 years
she awakens my own sense of self
when i see her hurting or struggling
and she makes my heart grow
just a little bit more
every time she feels proud
and her eyes light up from accomplishment
a new word
going “pee-pee machen” alone
feeling helpful in the kitchen
riding a bike
creating a masterpiece
eating everything on her plate
or blowing all her candles out on her birthday cake
i love
her spontaneous reactions
her voice
her smile
i love everything about her
we surprised her with cake and milk for breakfast this morning
blow!
one more time!
again!
wooohooo! you did it! happy birthday!
big party tomorrow!

September 1st, 2007 at 9:04 pmDear Elsa,
What a beautiful child! Three and terrific! And what fun you are, serving up birthday cake for breakfast! Yes indeed, she has the those glimmering eyes, just like her Mama. Hope you all had a fun time today at the party.
My guess is she will grow up to be the type to wear flowers in her hair too!
