wishes for wonder

oh, my elle belle.

you were so content

and easy-going as a babe.

laughing, smiling, letting your

sisters crawl over you.

the best sleeper.

peaceful.

and then, you turned two years old.

oh my, did your spunk come out.

and we LOVE your spunk.

you are sassy and

independent.

you are LOUD,

yet so, so gentle with

"your" babies, "your" twins.

you love being right in the middle now.

you can run off to play with your big sisters or

stay and be the helper for the babies.

you love coming up with your own outfits.

(see nana's glasses & knee socks above?)

you love my coffee and high heels.

you'd watch Dora and

call your Papaw

all. day. long. if we'd allow.

you adore cheese & peanut butter crackers.

you are our little free-spirit hippie. i love that about you.

now, you are three years old.

i can hardly believe it has been three years.

it feels like yesterday,

yet like you've been part of us forever.

praying a year of wonder for you.

three is beautiful, sweet girl.

drink it up.
