she's such the little free spirit...trying new things...growing into her skin...such a joy...always coming up with new ideas...playing make believe...being a helper...loving her daddy and brothers...i can't believe how grown up she is...
we were at a friend's birthday party last weekend, and she was bouncing with one of her favorite people

my sweet girl. there is something so special and so gut-wrenching about having a little girl. moms out there with daughters, i think you know what i'm struggling to describe. i love, love, love our girl time together. i love thinking of all the mother-daughter things we'll get to do together, the girly things i'll have the joy of explaining to her as she grows up, being there for her and telling her again and again (as i already find myself saying) "you can tell mama anything." yet there's this gut-wrenching part of our relationship as i look at her and wonder if she'll struggle with the same struggles i did with image and identity. will she compare herself with every other girl she comes across or will the Lord grace her with confidence in who she is in Him at a young age? there is something strange and magical about a mother-daughter bond...and i'm sure i'm just touching the tip of the iceberg. i look at her every night in bed, pray for her and almost tear up each time. i love you pumpkin.
playing in the sprinkler this afternoon. last year she wouldn't go near it. what a difference a year makes!

I know exactly what you are talking about! There is a different kind of bond between a mom and her daughter. It is hard to describe.... but I think you did a great job!
