Well, she is not so little anymore, even though I still ask her to “shrink back down to around age 2” some days, only because I miss when she was little.
When I brought Brit home from the hospital, I couldn’t help thinking, “Really? You’re going to let me take a baby home?”, only because I was 36 and had begun thinking I would never probably have a child of my own.
I remember those early days, watching her rock in her swing, eat every couple of hours, turn yellow briefly from a slight case of jaundice (don’t mention the “Mellow Yellow” song to her, ok?) and sleep, sleep, sleep.
I remember the first day she actually had enough hair to put into pigtails. She was around 2 years old. Her short stint in ballet at age 4, learning to ride a bike, chasing puppies, talking up a storm and being the sweetest girl ever.
She still is. She’s grown so much, and now we have band concerts and plays to watch and remember.
So happy birthday to “the one we would always choose for a daughter if we had our pick.” 🙂
Love you, much!
