This girl started it all for me. There is no way in a thousand years I could have guessed that mothering would be the impetuous to my self-understanding. But mothering you, my dear, has made me needy, dependent, strong, and brave!
It is so fun to watch the creativity of this big idea girl blossom as she plans parties, science projects, and birthday gifts for friends.
She was determined that her birthday party would be a scavenger hunt...but not just any scavenger hunt. One with stuffed animals. Because she loves stuffed animals. Each friend had one hidden with clues to lead her to find it.
She was also determined to have puppy cupcakes. Because she loves puppies. Thank you, google.
It is a beautiful, scary thing to watch the fruit of your young, inexperienced womb grow into a real live person...with dreams, and opinions, and preferences often different from your own. With gifts and talents and personality...often different from your own. What a gift it is to be your Mom, Queen Monkey! It is all grace, my dear. All grace.
