my two-year old

My Kate is two.
She is my last baby, my girl, and she is growing up.

I think that she is at the very best possible age. So happy and fun. So sweet. I think that I would be happy if she stayed like this forever.

But she can't, and I am having a hard time accepting that.

BUT... since I have absolutely no choice, I want to share some things that make her so sweet and endearing.

* she gives the best hugs. whole body hugs. she wraps her arms around your neck and squeezes

* her smile lights up a room

* she dances like dora the explorer

* she likes to snuggle in bed with you in the morning

* she is a book lover. she has to have one read before nap and bed time. and she will always try for more!

* she can hold her own with her brothers. she is a tough little thing!

* if someone is sad she has to give them hugs and kisses to help them feel better

* she kisses her own boo-boos

* she knocks on her own door in the morning to come out

And more! I could never begin to list all things that make her so wonderful. She is funny and happy and smart. But I am her Mom. I am completely biased.

I love you my dear daughter. Thank you for bringing such joy into my life. I am so lucky to be your Mom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
