The are many times that I know we got extremely lucky with our child. Today is one of them. It just strikes me randomly, and I know I rhapsodize about her all the time, but I can't help it.
Sofie is so beautiful. Her inner light shines through. She is thoughtful and caring. She does random acts of kindness to us and the cats (and strangers). Last year, she was a big kiss blower - quite the hit at airports, supermarkets, and parks. This year, she is a hugged and kisser. Today after dinner, she came up to me and hugged me, kissed me, and told me she loved me. It was so sweet.
Yesterday, she was loving all over Pita. She nuzzled her nose, caressed her face/ears, gave he sweet kisses and loved all over her. She was so gentle and delicately touched her... So not a 3 year old thing.
She is a wily combination of her dad and me. Her curiosity, love of music/dance, singlemindedness and independence all scream of me. Her inability to watch tv unless there is total silence, throw random stuff, and grumpiness in the am are like her dad.
Being a mom has helped me frame gratitude in a whole new light. I know I am not the best mom but I do the best I can with her. I am thankful for every minute. I imagined life with a child, and it is amazing how close the picture was to my reality. It is an amazing thing and I am so thankful.
