Growing Up

Some days I look at this sandy-haired, blue-eyed beauty that flits around my house like a little fairy and I wonder how I could be so blessed. She is getting so big and becoming her own person more and more everyday. She is so independent and yet so needy all at the same time.

She is full of sass and backtalk, but I believe she is in a time of turmoil. She is torn between trying to still be my baby and becoming a big kid. She sees me with her brother all day and I think she's still trying to figure out her new place in the family as the oldest.



She knows a lot and yet has still so much to learn.

Be still my young daughter, for your life has still only just begun.
There is time yet for you to grow and learn.
Let time slow and allow it to show you who you are meant to be.

And always remember, that I love you!
