to my daughter on her second birthday…
my girl among boys.
my dance among wrestling.
my song among laughter.
“pick up me.”
“it scared me half.”
“ionna watch george.”
“ionna watch tb.”
“i wike poop.”
“i wub wu.”
“i a prinshesh.”
may you always be a princess. may you always be adored by the boys in your life. may you always make girlfriends so easily. may you always dance your way through the day. may you always sing loudly even when you don’t know the words. may you always want babies. may you always be the joy of your daddy’s day. may you always be the treasure of my heart. may you always love with abandon.

that jolynn looking little thing!
she’s beautiful…and you write about her beautifully, too.
happy birthday, grace!
Oh Happy Birthday Gracie!!!!!!
Happy Birthday to Gracie! She has gotten so big. I can’t believe that she is already 2.
I loved this post! Look at that girl.. it’s almost heartbreaking how grown up she’s getting! What a cuttie though!
Happy birthday, Gracie girl! How has it already been 2 full years since I first held you in the hospital?! (as i proudly proclaimed, “I just KNEW you were a girl!”)
