Day 4
This is my only daughter. We're in this crazy life together.
Two girls surrounded by a bunch of boys. And, I wouldn't have it any other way. She is also my second child. I waited and wanted a long time for her (But
I’ll save that story for another day). My daughter is a complex little person. She is the most caring, compassionate, lovable,
protective little girl. But, she is also
a little fireball with a four-year-old attitude to match. She is stubborn and headstrong, and she knows
exactly what she wants and usually how to get it. She tells it like she sees it, and she has
eyes that can melt you. She tells me she
loves me “this much” about a billion times a day. It isn’t unusual for her to be my greatest
source of joy and my biggest source of frustration all in the same day. She has more energy than the Energizer Bunny. But today, at this exact second of photo opportunity
anyways, she was being the wonderful big sister she is. She loves being mommy’s little helper. She loves to help care for her baby brother. She likes to help change diapers and hold his
bottle. She loves to smother him with
love and affection. She always tell me
when she gets big, she will be a good mommy like me. It melts my heart. Sometimes, with dealing with my little crazy
life and all that comes with it, hearing that come out of her mouth is just
what I need to keep going. It is the conformation
that I am doing okay, even if it is out of the mouth of a four year old. I have
big dreams for this special little girl.
I am sure we will have rough roads at times, after all it runs in the
family (huh Mom!). But, I am more than
excited to have her next to me as we carve out our own little path within our
crazy house full of boys. This is my
Adelyn.
