Dear C

Oh my little girl, you take my breath away.

With your steam colored eyes, eye lashes for days and beautiful heart shaped mouth you can make a smile cross my face even when I'm at my wits end.

You and I can have our great days and our very bad days, but at the end of each and every day you are inner twined in my heart and have made a permanent mark on my soul that pushes me to sneak into your room at night and shower you with soft kisses and apologies for the rough day we may have had.

You sleep right through it but I pray that you sub-consciously hear me and feel the love I'm so desperately trying to convey to you.

I believe you do since each morning you wake up and run into our room filled with energy and love for me no matter what may have occurred the day before.

I know these days are shortened due to the fact that you will grow up and you will soon learned how to hold a grudge and your feelings wont always be so easily healed, but I hope by then we will have a better way of communicating with one another.

I'm praying that when you are 10 years old you don't have the same lack of listening skills as a 2 year old :).

However, I wont get my hopes up you are the hybrid of your father and I.

But we will cross that bridge when we come to it.



Please note this is on a level B road on the middle of a farm. No driving until 14 on regular roads in this family:)

As far as the relationship with your father...well it goes with out saying you have one of the strongest bond I have ever seen and it makes me incredibly proud to be able to watch from behind the camera as it flourishes through the years.
We may not have the most conventional schedules as far as work and school go, and you may not see your favorite man every day like most families but we promise you it wont always be like this and we can't be more blessed that you just seem to go with the flow of our lives.

We are so thankful that your have the temperament that you do little girl because in a few short weeks your life as the only child will soon turn to the life as the big sister.
 We aren't to concerned with whether your will love your baby brother or not simply because you have been sleeping with one of his blankets for the past couple of weeks and are waiting "patiently" to give it to him when he is born.

You completely wrap yourself up at night with this little blanket and ask to cuddle with your brother.

Which is not the most comfortable for me but how can I say no to such a simple request.

When sitting on the couch you will cover my belly up with his blanket and tell me he is cold.

I'm sure you will have your moments of adjustment and melt downs here and there but we are expecting it and will do our best to help you transition into such a new role.

However, we don't doubt that you will take it on with a lot of heart and compassion, much like you do everything else.

We love you Cecelia.

Mama
