Happy Birthday Baby!

Six years. I can’t believe its been that long. Seems like just yesterday she was born. 6 weeks premature, surrounded by a medical team and a waiting helicopter to transport her to the closest NICU. The silence waiting on that last push….the holding of breath and the beautiful exhales that came simultaneously. Perfectly pink and tiny. She shocked and surprised the world by saying “What’s the fuss about?…..I’m here…I’m beautiful…I’m ready to go!” She demanded her crown from the first moment. And now….six years later, she is still perfect. At least most of the time :) She still commands an audience with just the smile on her face and the flash of her eyes. Like all adoring mothers, I foresee great things for her. She makes Anne Shirley seem unimaginative, Lydia Bennett somber, and Junie B. Jones an angel. With her charm, brains, and the ability to bring laughter, she will be a woman to reckon with….a formidable force. Watch out world…here she comes.
